WHISKEY & BONE

[Verse 1]
Echoes in the alleyways.
Moonlight’s cuttin’
through the haze.
Ghosts of old wounds
whisper low…
Down where the
dead men go.
A woman’s cry,
a blade’s cold gleam.
A shadow moves
in a bloodstained dream.
Ghosts don’t die,
they bide their time,
And tonight,
one's got my name.
[Chorus]
Steel and smoke,
whiskey and bone.
Another fight
I never chose.
A one-legged man,
making a stand.
One more time
after the fall.
[Verse 2]
He swings wild,
got muscle, no mind.
I take the pain
but leave him blind.
Cane in my grip,
heavy as hate.
Swingin’ wide,
but it’s too damn late.
Blood on my sleeve,
fire in my chest.
Leg don’t hold,
but I do my best.
Ain't no god watchin,’
ain't no grace.
Just me, the night,
and a battered face.
[Chorus]
Steel and smoke,
whiskey and bone.
Another fight
I never chose.
A one-legged man,
making a stand.
One more time
after the fall.
[Bridge]
I ain't no savior,
ain't no saint…
ain't the one.
But when the devil
deals the hand…
you play it, till
what’s in you’s gone.
[Verse 3]
He’s on the ground,
still breathin’ slow,
I should walk,
but I don’t go.
Her eyes lock mine,
wide with fear.
And I can’t walk,
not from here.
[Chorus]
Steel and smoke,
whiskey and bone.
Another fight
I never chose,
A one-legged man,
making a stand.
One more time
after the fall.
[Verse 4]
I should walk,
but I don’t go.
Her eyes lock mine,
wide with fear,
I can’t walk,
not from her.
Not from here.
[Chorus]
Steel and smoke,
whiskey and bone.
Another fight
I never chose.
A one-legged man,
making a stand.
One more time...
after the fall.
[Bridge]
I ain't no savior,
ain't no saint…
ain't the one.
But when the devil
deals the hand, you play it,
till what’s in you’s gone.
[Chorus]
Steel and smoke,
whiskey and bone,
Another fight …
I never chose.
A one-legged man,
making a stand,
One more time...
after the fall.
