Lyrics

[00:08.30] Living on bread and wine was easy
[00:11.99] for John and James and Mother Mary
[00:16.3] and I’m no saint and that’s my ball and chain
[00:23.74] Cause when I’m passed that silver chalice
[00:27.61] I always drink my fill until it
[00:31.45] knocks me down and tangles up my brain
[00:37.77] Yeah buddy, it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life
[00:42.50] it’s a mean old world, when you’re kicked to the gutter
[00:46.60] and the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame
[00:58.64] Walking through the graveyards and sleeping in alleys
[01:02.48] telling myself the same old stories
[01:06.40] Drinking that blood and calling it holy wine
[01:13.95] Looking in windows and seeing a stranger
[01:17.92] going through hell like a fallen angel
[01:21.89] Feeling my bones getting old long before their time
[01:28.16] Yeah buddy, it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life
[01:32.99] it’s a mean old world, when you’re kicked to the gutter
[01:36.88] and the firewater gotcha talking in circles again
[01:44.69] It’s an empty bottle passing around
[01:48.35] when your hopes and dreams have all burned down
[01:52.42] And the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame
[01:59.63] Take me home, take me home
[02:08.23] Gather me up in your arms Lord have mercy divine
[02:30.48] So take me home, take me home
[02:38.14] Take me home, take me home
[02:46.29] Cause it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life
[02:50.36] it’s a mean old world when you're kicked to the gutter
[02:54.26] and the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame
[03:00.37] Yeah, the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame.
