Jason Boland & the Stragglers - Bourbon Legend lyrics

rate me

Chorus

They say Im a bourbon Legend

If you didnt know

I haunt the honky tonks

Like a worn out ghost

A friend of a friend

Said right or wrong

Ill be a bourbon lengend long after im gone

Some say that im part devil

With a long red pointed tail

Some say that im a preacher man

Warning about the fires of hell

The folklore keeps on spreading these days

That im another shooting star

There have been several sightings of me

By the folks down at the bar

Chorus

Some believe the rumors

Others need stronger proof

Give it time and you will find

A lie is another wasted truth

Theres ninety ways to judgment day

And Ive tasted everyone

When youre down to your last shot

Thats the best time to load your gun

Those stories run together like drunks in a bar

They all start to sound the same

Every little town when the sun goes down

Im known by a different name

Repeat Chorus
