in a dark corner of smoke filled bar
constantly watching who come's
who go's
I run my fingers through the wet ring
left by the ice of my bourbon an coke
while searching for that one little thing
out of place
something tell's me it's the calm before the storm
they say his blood washed away our sins
all blood brought me was more blood
sometimes mine
sometimes theirs
rain will wash the blood away
whiskey will dull the pain
but neither can save a mans soul
some say I'm bound for hell
my greatest sin ?
I refuse to look the other way
I do my best not to be a hypocrite
I will sometimes turn the other cheek
but it will never be twice
and it damn sure won't be tonight
quick look's
drinking faster than the rest
trying to calm his nerves I guess
it won't be long till the liquid courage kicks in
I run my fingers through the wet ring
left by the ice of my bourbon an coke
while wondering why I just don't leave
is it something primal in my DNA
deep breath
pushes himself of the bar
and so tonight's show begins
an for who will the bell toll

Shocking
Coke in bourbon. Just Bein' Stella
p.s. loved this one - reminds me of the captain's face on the barroom floor image - A
