Not a hot cup of coffee, nor a cold glass of tea
Ever crossed your lips, in my company
Straight bourbon whiskey, was all we'd abide
So let's don't hold back, now we've got nothing to hide
So much we savored yet so much we missed
You know I never meant you to see me like this
Just a faint distant flicker, from the last of the storm
You know a taste of that liquor, could do me no harm
Light me a candle, light me a fire
Come sit by the window, with the shades drawn
To the best of intentions, and the worst of desires
We'll leave by the Gulf Road, in the gray dawn
Take a short handled shovel, take a long handled hoe
Cover my bones when the west wind blows
Smooth it off even, pack it down hard
I'll no more be here, but I'll never be far
I'll no more be here, but I'll never be far
Chorus
