Sweet Salvation
|
|
( Michael Grimes )
|
|
Bottles of liquor and these smoky bars
|
Lifelong companions when seen from afar
|
Cigarette cherry, my lone guiding star
|
Shining light on my salvation
|
Shining light on my salvation
|
|
Signs in the window 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
|
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
|
|
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
|
Piano sits silent, entertaining no more
|
The kitchen's been closed, the cook's out the door
|
On the road to sweet salvation
|
On the road to sweet salvation
|
On the road to sweet salvation
|
On the road...
