Rory Gallagher - Bourbon Lyrics

Send "Bourbon" ringtone to your cell

Well he's drinking down the bourbon like it was soda pop

Trying to quell a feeling he knows ain't gonna stop

He's mortgaged out his blood for one more chance to breathe.

He had the D.T.'s for breakfast the shakes till noon

He picked up his bag and left the motel room

His head is held high but his heart is on it's knees.

Well he packed his guitar and his bar-room tan

Gotta get some miles behind him as fast as he can

Another destination some place else to play.

Well he left a life behind him in some old trailer park.

They tried to make it work; it was ruined from the start.

He had to shake the rust it became time to leave.

It's a honky-tonk engagement

But there's no better place to play.

His face feels like crazy pavement

It's getting more lined every day.

Well he's gonna write a letter and try to explain

She says he's too old to have these growing pains

But something keeps him moving living on through the night.

But as the night approaches a change is in the air

His heart is pumping fast he's got no cares.

The music befriends him it can take him anywhere.

It's a honky-tonk engagement

But there's no better place to play.

His mind feels like crazy pavement

He's getting crazed out every day.

Well he's drinking down the bourbon like it was soda pop

Trying to quell a feeling he knows ain't gonna stop

He's mortgaged out his blood for one more chance to breathe.

He had the D.T.'s for breakfast the chills till noon

He picked up his bag and left the motel room

His head is held high but his heart is on it's knees.
