Higher Wire

(album: Desperate Man - 2018)

Don't know why it does but it sure do, don't it, honey?
Being in love with you is as easy as spending money
Keep me higher than the fog, it's a-hiding them copper liners
Yeah, they ain't no landing gear on this big jetliner

Benedictine baby
Chartreuse snake oil lady
Appalachian moonshine crazy
Bible belt and a sinner's fire
Love on a higher wire

Brother, it's a mother undercover with a voodoo woman
Roll the dice, bet your life every night, keep a black magic coming
I should run from you like a vampire does from daylight
But I don't know how to quit 'cause I know what addiction tastes like

Benedictine baby
Chartreuse snake oil lady
Appalachian moonshine crazy
Bible belt and a sinner's fire
Love on a higher wire

Roll on 20
Bet on black
Roll them bones
Drink my Jack
Go all in
Call my bluff
Don't nothing keep me coming back again

Benedictine baby
Chartreuse snake oil lady
Appalachian moonshine crazy
Bible belt and a sinner's fire
Lo-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa...
On a higher wire
