lyrics

We were drinking
when the sun went down
We were drinking
when the sun came up

Ain't no devil gonna kick us out
Of the place of general sin

At the bar lives a war vet
Nobody knows his name
Free drinks 'til the day he dies
Just enough to numb his pain

Mary-Lou is a teacher
In her day she used to dance
Used a pole to pay her way to the city
But she came back in the end

We were drinking
when the sun went down
We were drinking
when the sun came up

Ain't no devil gonna kick us out
Of the place of general sin

Take the bottle when it comes around
Pour your memories in that cup
Ain't no devil gonna kick us out
Of the place of general sin

Billy banging on the black keys
The only song he knows
Wild thing is the one he sings
With a voice that's dark as coal

Broken heart sunglasses
He peers into your soul
You missed your shot
Like you lost your God
Then he hits the 8 ball home

We were drinking
when the sun went down
We were drinking
when the sun came up

Ain't no devil gonna kick us out
Of the place of general sin

Take the bottle when it comes around
Pour your memories in that cup
Ain't no devil gonna kick us out
Of the place of general sin

Tommy-Lee with the long face
Was looking for his love
It's been a year
Since he disappeared
Now he's back here with a son

Bar maid's got a shotgun
To keep us in our place
Every night she shoots a hole in the ceiling
When the bar tab goes unpaid

We were drinking
when the sun went down
We were drinking
when the sun came up

Ain't no devil gonna kick us out
Of the place of general sin

Take the bottle when it comes around
Pour your memories in that cup
Ain't no devil gonna kick us out
Of the place of general sin

Ain't no devil gonna kick us out
Of the place of general sin
Ain't no devil gonna kick us out
Of the place of general sin
