Moonshine On Me

(album: Whiskey And Women - 2011)

I breathe better in a smoke filled room
I sleep better in the afternoon
When I go home it's a motel room
Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I breathe better in a smoke filled room
I sleep better in the afternoon
When I go home it's a motel room
Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I roamed away from home to make it known the microphone
Skills shine like the dawn, still the night brings a cold chill
The moon's full as Boone pulls up to a 'dingy dive bar'
A place even the waitresses face has got an eye scar
Fleetwood Mac on the jukebox on a slow night
Lady behind the bar got a pack of Marlboro lights
Rolled up in her sleeves stocking the cooler
I park it on the stool
She said: what you need?
I say: what you got? I said make it a jack and coke
She said: ok and where you staying?
I said: I'm laying my head across the street at the Holiday Inn
And I asked what time they close
She said: you can stay till the AM
Said: ain't you Danny Boone the man who rocks the planet
Bet your pen sign more titties than I balls saw Janet's
I said: Damn it! Why don't we get out of this bar
Grab a bottle, she dropped her apron said I'll meet you at the car
She stepped out in the moon shine looking like a star

I breathe better in a smoke filled room
I sleep better in the afternoon
When I go home it's a motel room
Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I breathe better in a smoke filled room
I sleep better in the afternoon
When I go home it's a motel room
Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I love my smoke filled rooms, dive bar saloons
I love the ladies undergarments on the knotty pine roof
I've never liked the last call, my happy hours at noon
I drink my jack out the bottle like a bottle of Boones
Hey lady with the broom, can you play some Johnny cash?
Here's a couple dollars for you, for your coaster and glass
She wiped the dust of the bottle gave me single barrel mash
Said I sip my liquor quicker then your cigarette will last
I hit the bathroom stall, names upon the wall
Conversation with my alcohol seem to be long
I contemplating taking time to give my lady a call
Or I'm chasing down the devil with my latest Jagerbomb
I told my broad I'm on a drinking binge, I'm at it again
Cause I love the way she tastes
I love the squeak of the hinge
So when the brass doors open and the smoke seeps in
I hit the bed with my bottle, you can bet we sleeping in cause

I breathe better in a smoke filled room
I sleep better in the afternoon
When I go home it's a motel room
Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I breathe better in a smoke filled room
I sleep better in the afternoon
When I go home it's a motel room
Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I love that kinda place where the neon lights
Chase away all the problems that we all face
When I'm parkin on a stool I get the kinda feeling
Take a sip, look up, see dollar bills on the ceiling
Hear the crack of a cue ball breaking a rack
Hear a group full of friends laughing in the back
Then it hits me like a brick as I wash one down
This the kinda bar that reminds me of my town
If these walls could talk I know they'd say the same thing
Watch us grow up and how we all had to change
And my 21st, drink all them shots together
I remember how you said that we'd always last forever
Well that didn't work, babe, and I couldn't breath
It gave me shelter from the storm when I was in need
So I'm a light a cigarette and give you one more minute
Take another shot of beam when I'm finished reminiscing
Cause I

I breathe better in a smoke filled room
I sleep better in the afternoon
When I go home it's a motel room
Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I breathe better in a smoke filled room
I sleep better in the afternoon
When I go home it's a motel room
Moonshine on me, moonshine on you
