Whiskey, Witches & Candlelight

The neon's dim and the moon is sly

Crawlin' low where the cattle skulls lie

I tip my hat to the barkeep's ghost

One last drink's what I need most

Dance pants in the haunted light

Shake that fear and close the night

We're old enough to know the score

Laugh with the dead and pour one more

One last drink before dawn

Hold the spare and keep singing on

There's chalk on the floor and dust on the shelf

A crooked little charm for my unruly self

I got a grin and a devil's tune

Mischief blooms in the pines at noon

Dance, dance in the haunted light

Shake that fear and toast the night

We're old enough to know the score

Laugh with the dead and pour one more

One last drink before dawn

Hold the spell and keep

Sing it on, oh

If the backroom rattles and the bottles ring

Then that's just the midnight learning to sing

No harm in a curse and a harmless lie

When the fear winds up and the shadows slide by

Dance, dance in the haunted light

She'd be fearing toast tonight

We're old enough to know the score

Laugh with the dead and pour one more

One last drink before dawn

Bury the blues

Where they belong
