lyrics

Hear the lies of the barstool prophet, the smell of bourbon and despair
The sound of neon buzzing, and I know I’ll see you there

Feel the carvings worn smooth on the bar top, black windows turn noon into night
The jukebox wails out a country cliche, The bar’s fool get drunk on your right

He’ll be a rich man when his ship comes in
a strong man when she calls, be a wise man when he’s older, and buy drinks for all

As we drink alone in our dark merciful home, the company I find quite alright
All of my fears, all my wasted years, before death I hope to find life

Within every man lies a poet, within every truth hides a lie
Distracts from a future, without a chance, A miracle flashes its light

For all my friends
