Whiskey Neat, Coffee Black Lyrics

There's a light that shines

A little less on moonlit nights

On the dirt where I rode my bike

When I was ten

I ain't one to question

A sudden sense of introspection

You can leave in any direction

And still get home again

Dressed in Sunday best

Whiskey neat and coffee black

It's a quick drive to the bar

But buddy it's a long walk back

Let it be a lesson

It can be awfully hard to rest when

Where you sleep and where you confess

Are on the same block

I mistake shooting stars

For headlights on passing cars

But me and this town tick in time to the same clock

Dressed in Sunday best

Whiskey neat and coffee black

It's a quick drive to the bar

But buddy it's a long walk back

I pass an empty fire station

Does it have a new location?

The hours that I wasted

Will I ever find them again?

I had a dream about this street

About the roots beneath my feet

About how memories deceive

You just don't know where or when

Dressed in Sunday best

Whiskey neat and coffee black

It's a quick drive to the bar

But buddy it's a long walk back
