Lyrics
Whiskey Row (Sung by a male but can be done by a female even more powerful, think about the song, about a waitress, with a few word changes or maybe not. I am a Alt/Country singer. If you had a twang country singer singing this song it would be country. Thank You)

Intro Music hook
Verse
What a way to make a living Give em' two more for the road
Thought I'd make a buck slingin' beer Welcomb to my new career
Turn that smile on at sundown Last call turns it all around all around
Chorus
It's already closin' time time to go
And I'm all out of majic shows
Should have caught my 10 shot act But that was years ago
Here's to you at whiskey row Heres to you at whiskey row
Intro Music hook
Verse
Yes my name is tip the waitress Put a smile upon your face
Tonight you might be my favorite bed mess The morning price an empty space
My drink will always find your table I'll keep you going till closing time
And listen to your drunken fables But not another pick-up line pick-up line
Bridge
Cheap colored lights & mirrors are closing in
What was a part time job Is now a 20 year bin
Chorus
It's already closin' time time to go
And I'm all out of majic shows
You should have caught my 10 shot act But that was years ago
Here's to you at whiskey row Here's to you at whiskey row
Cheers to you at whiskey row
