Red Rocket Whiskey

Lyrics transcript

Reviewed lyrics for Red Rocket Whiskey.

um

I woke up in a tin roof shack

With a bottle and a broken mat

The sun came up like a shaved down blade

On a junkyard world

That never got saved

My boots got dust in every scene

My last good luck was a fever dream

I found your name on a dented wall,

right past the hole where the old towers fall.

And I've been walking that dead rail line with

a burn in my chest and a bite of

time. If I call your name, will you hear

me through? All this rust, all this ruin, all

this blue, all this blue Red Rocket Whiskey

Burns right down

Red Rocket Whiskey Keeps me around

If the world goes empty

I still got this

Red rocket whiskey And your goodbye kiss

I traded caps for a cracked guitar

Played for a mule in a busted bar

Raiders laugh with their missing teeth while the radio

prays through the static heat.

Saw a kid with a paper crown ruling over

a dead dog town.

He said, mister, where do the strong ones go?

I said, some they sank, but they shine slow.

And I've been walking that dead rail line With

a burn in my chest in about a time

If I call your name, will you hear me

through All this rust, all this ruin, all this

blue, all this blue Red rocket whiskey

Burns right down

Red rocket whiskey Keeps me around

If the world goes empty

I still got this

Red rocket whiskers And your goodbye kiss

I met a man by a burned out tank

Said he lost his home and he lost his

ring He poured one shot in the dust for

the dead Then he tipped that bottle and shook

his head We don't need crowns

We don't need gold

Just a hot hand friend And the cold, cold,

cold, cold Red Rocket Whiskey

burns right down.

Red Rocket Whiskey keeps me around.

If the world goes empty,

I've still got this

red rocket whiskey

and your good-bye kiss.

Red rocket whiskey, take my pain.

Red rocket whiskey, call my name.

If the dawn comes empty, I'll still exist.

Red rocket whiskey.

And your goodbye kiss.

Thank you.
