Lyrics
Whiskey Knights
She blew in one night like a Cat 5 hurricane lightin' up the party scene
All the guys knew as the salty air blew, she was a real party queen
She'd been fishin' and drinkin' all day on the bay catching reds, trout, rays and sharks
In the South Texas town that they call Port A - at a place called Bernie's bar
Rise up fellow soldiers - high as the Southern Sky
All night long - fishin' at dawn - go forth Whiskey Knights
One by one they knelt to receive their royal queen's commission
She touched each shoulder with a shot glass full of a mystical blue libation
Pushed back their heads she poured it all down in the glow of a neon light
One more knight - in the queen's army - ready to dance or fight
Rise up fellow soldiers - high as the Southern Sky
All night long - fishin' at dawn - go forth Whiskey Knights
A lone wolf howled , a yard dog growled as she disappeared into the wind
They say she slipped away, went back to the bay never to be seen again
The men searched for days and asked around town but nobody said a word
But you'll find them at Bernie's every weekend - ready to kneel and serve
Whiskey Knights, Whiskey Knights, Whiskey Knights down at Bernie's bar (repeat)
