Song Description

Lullaby about bourbon, Rimbaud, and the rain

Lyrics

He only drinks bourbon when it?s raining
Gives a toast to the ghost of Rimbaud
And she ain?t got nothing that will capture his heart
And like a soldier in the winds, through the doorways he goes

Girls in the street dressed in neon
Damn son is that all you got?
Well I?m dreaming of church bells and carnival shows
And God knows it ain?t easy when you run out of bridges to burn

So take me away . . .
So take me away . . .
Whiskey

Hey man do you know where I am
Saying, ?hey child stay where you are?
Well I know these ain?t no prison walls
But I?m stuck inside these bars
And I don?t know where I?m going
Or how long I?ll be there

So take me away . . .
So take me away . . .
Whiskey
