“I sat down on a barstool, like a dern fool / ‘Cause she walked out again.” Drowning those sorrows, Morgan Wallen! The Grammy-nominated country singer loves a bar. How do we know? He’s sung many bar-related songs like “This Bar” or “Your Bartender”.  Both songs hailed from Dangerous: The Double Album.  On his 2023 album, One Thing At A Time, Wallen informed us that “Man Made a Bar.”  Word. Helping him to articulate this point he tapped fellow country artist Eric Church for the assist.  The fourth track from One Thing At Time was written by Rocky Block, Jordan Dozzi, Larry Fleet, and Brett Tyler. Joey Moi produced it.

The bartender relates to Wallen’s situation.  In the first verse, he tells him, the bar “‘Got me over my first wife’,” insinuating this situation is “a story old as time.” From there, “Man Made a Bar” gets Biblical think Genesis, in the chorus. The scripture ‘takes some liberties’:

“… God made a man, and man got lonely

He said, ‘Please, Lord, if I could only

Have an angel to hold in my arms’

So, God made a girl, His best work of art

Oh, but He didn’t make no place to go when she breaks your hеart

So, man made a bar.” 

Eric Church enters the picture in the second verse, asserting at the end, “Damn, the devil do some damage.” After singing the second chorus, with some Wallen contributions, Wallen performs the bridge, which involves a fallen angel.  Both Wallen and Church sing marvelously, with ample twang. Besides the vocals, the melodies are tuneful, and the music accompaniment is ‘tried-and-true’ country.  In case you didn’t know, “Man Made a Bar” for men to cope, or so Wallen and Church say.
