点击复制Bettys bourbon - Soul Blues Icon
It ran the jukebox down on Fifth and Vine
Wore her Sunday shoes even past closing time
She poured more than whiskey in that neon light
She served broken hearts with a smile every night
There was a picture of her brother hung behind the bar
Gone too young caught stealing an old man's car
She lit a candle near it every Friday night
Said this bourbon burns, let's when the flame burns bright
Let this bourbon smooth and mean
It'll clean your soul and steal your dreams
One shot for pain, two more for regret
Three'll make you forget what you ain't done yet
But oh
Her laugh was sweeter than gin
And her blues came from deep within
She once danced for tips in a back room hall
Till a man named Charlie made her feel ten feet tall
But Charlie left a ring and a baby crying
Now Betty just smiles like she's done trying
She said you serve drinks long enough
You know folks' fate
You learn who's lying and who shows up late
But I ain't bitter, just aged and brewed
In a barrel of sorrow and the life I choose
Betty's bourbon, bold and white
It'll warm your hands and freeze your pride
Pour it slow, let it sting like truth
That bottle's older than her wasted youth
But oh
Her hands still shake just a bit from every goodbye
She couldn't quit
Now the bar's still there but Betty's gone
Left behind the jukebox and her gospel songs
