A Guy Walks Into a Bar(n)?

Tyler Farr has a great song called, "A Guy Walks Into a Bar". I love the song. After listening to it over a dozen times in the first two weeks of it's release, my 10 year old daughter realized she had been singing the wrong lyrics. She explains, "Hahaha, this whole time, I thought it was, 'A Guy Walks Into a Barn". So, of course we had to do a little rewrite just for fun. The actual hook goes, 


"A guy walks into a bar, orders a drink
Sees a girl that catches his eye
Asks her if she wants another
They fall for each other and end up lovers
They laugh, cry, hold on tight, make it work for a little while
Then one night her taillights fade out into the dark
And a guy walks into a bar"

In order to accommodate the barn version, my little girl came up with,



A guy walks into a barn, he's already drunk
Sees a goat that catches his eye
Asks her if she wants another
They fall for each other and end up lovers
They laugh, cry, hold on tight, make it work for a little while
Then one night her tail fades out into the dark
And a guy walks into a barn

Now, if that's not funny enough, while riding in my Jeep with my 13 year old son, the song came on the radio. So I told him about my daughter's new lyrics. To which he replies, "What if the guy actually walked into a bar? Because he was texting or something." He then came up with: 



A guy walks into a bar, falls flat on his face
Sees stars floating over his head
Wishes he wasn't textin' 
The fall to the ground smashes his head in   
He laughs, cries, holds on tight, makes it work for a little while
Then that night the stars fade out into the dark
And a guy walks into a bar



Crazy kids. Where do they come up with this stuff?
