ROE & Whiskey | Dark Country & Blues Music - Dark Country Boy
Steel strings, sour rum, Dobro, crandee
Rusted rules of war buried where the shadows creep
Instinct barks orders, conscience catching Zs
Whiskey's my savior, keeps the devil at peace
Rules of engagement, they don't feed the beast
Survival's the gospel, primal, unleashed
Every sip of that fire, every line I breach
It's raw and whiskey preacher's final speech
Gravel in my throat, law books in the dirt
Medals for the righteous, scars for the hurt
Instincts a trigger, life's a two-faced flirt
Whiskey wipes the blood where the rules desert
Guitar hums sorrow, boom, bad beats decay
Echoes in the alley where morals go astray
Judgments a phantom, justice don't stay
But the whiskey whispers truths no laws convey
Rules of engagement, they don't feed the beast
Survival's the gospel, primal, unleashed
Every sip of that fire, every line I breach
It's raw and whiskey preacher's final speech
Barrel to my conscience, doubt plays the judge
Life's chessboard grimy, pawns never budge
Survival's the anthem, guilt's a cold grudge
Dobro wails the blues where the whiskey won't nudge
Rules of engagement, they don't feed the beast
Survival's the gospel, primal, unleashed
Every sip of that fire, every line I breach
It's raw and whiskey preacher's final speech
