It’s the light of the fire, an all night revival
That’s Burnin the midnight air
It’s The smell of the whiskey, it starting to hit me
Lord take me back to there
To the shade of a pine, with a smoke filled mind
What I would give for those times
With smoke burnt lungs, we had our fun
Now it’s time to get some rest
The morning comes quick, and it’s time to slip
Out on down the road, from a town nobody knows
Doin our best to survive
Smoke burnt lungs, and a night that’s done
Just to wake up and do it again
It’s a game they call life
And you’ll never know the price
Working for the man until you can’t
It’s An orange sky morning, no sailors take warning
We live to die another day
The numb in the fingers that’s where my pain lingers
From an evening filled with picking strings
The raspy ole voice, with a nose of regret
Time to go live the songs that we sing
Hopefully we’ll make it to the light of fire
After the day is done
With a pocket of days pay, and good memories on the way
We will make it as long as we can
Smoke burnt lungs and stomach of bourbon
I’ll be headed out, to a world out west
I’ll give it my best to clean up my mess
So I’m Starting with smoke burnt lungs
