Lyrics
Bottles of liquor and these smoky bars
Lifelong companions, when seen from afar
Cigarette cherry, my lone guiding star
Shining light on my salvation
Signs in the windows flicker and start
The diligent barkeep is playing his part
The sweet smell of bourbon so dear to my heart
Shows the way to my salvation
Liquor and cigarettes, desires and dreams
Brings light to the troubled, forgives and redeems
More often than not, it?s not as bad as it seems
When I m here with my salvation?
Chairs on the tables, sweep up the floor
The Piano sits silent, entertaining no more
The kitchen's been closed, the cook's out the door
On the road to sweet salvation....
