Lyrics
Description
Final Chorus
Four long years with a bottle in my hand, Whiskey chased the hurt, but it don’t understand,
Beer cans clankin’ like a mournful tune, Chewin’ my sorrow’'neath a blood-red moon.
My ex never knew the hell I was in, Two friends saw the cracks, but I kept it within,
Demons at the bar, void on the stage, I was fightin’ my shadow, dancin’ in a cage.
I danced with the devil, With whiskey on my breath,
Beer for the silence, And smoke for the rest,
Spit out the darkness, Chewed up the pain,
Four years in fire, But I broke the chain.
Final Chorus
Ash on my boots, Tobacco on my tongue, Songs of survival I ain’t never sung,
The devil held tight, but I tore away, And I’m still standin’ here at the break of day.
I danced with the devil, With whiskey on my breath,
Beer for the silence, And smoke for the rest,
Spit out the darkness, Chewed up the pain,
Four years in fire, But I broke the chain.
Final Chorus
Every scar is a story, Every tear is a line,
I buried that darkness, Left it behind,
The devil don’t own me, I’m takin’ my stand,
With the sixth string burnin’ in my calloused hands.
I danced with the devil, But I walked away,
Beer, blood, and whiskey, Couldn’t make me stay,
Spit out the demons, Left them in the rain,
I survived the darkness, And I’ll never dance again.
