Not a hot cup of coffee, nor a cold glass of tea Ever crossed your lips, in my company Straight bourbon whiskey, was all we'd abide So let's don't hold back, now we've got nothing to hide So much we savored yet so much we missed You know I never meant you to see me like this Just a faint distant flicker, from the last of the storm You know a taste of that liquor, could do me no harm Light me a candle, light me a fire Come sit by the window, with the shades drawn To the best of intentions, and the worst of desires We'll leave by the Gulf Road, in the gray dawn Take a short handled shovel, take a long handled hoe Cover my bones when the west wind blows Smooth it off even, pack it down hard I'll no more be here, but I'll never be far I'll no more be here, but I'll never be far Chorus
