Moonshine On Me

I breathe better in a smoke filled room

I sleep better in the afternoon

When I go home it's a motel room

Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I breathe better in a smoke filled room

I sleep better in the afternoon

When I go home it's a motel room

Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I roamed away from home to make it on the microphone still

Shine like the dawn still the night brings a cold chill

The moons full as Boone pulls up to a dingy dive bar

A place even the waitresses face has got an eye scar

Fleetwood Mac on the jukebox on a slow night

Lady behind the bar got a pack of Marlboro Lights

Rolled up in her sleeve, stockin' the cooler

I park it on the stool she said "

What you need?" I said "What you got?"

I said "Make it a Jack and Coke"

She said "Okay and where you stayin'?"

Said "I'm layin' my head across the street at the Holiday Inn"

I asked what time they close she said "You can stay 'til the A.M."

Said "Ain't you Danny Boone that man that rocks the planet

Bet your pen signed more titties than I bought saw Janet's"

I said "Damnit, why don't we get out of this bar"

Grab a bottle she dropped her apron said "I'll meet you at the car"

She stepped out in the moonshine lookin' like a star

I breathe better in a smoke filled room

I sleep better in the afternoon

When I go home it's a motel room

Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I breathe better in a smoke filled room

I sleep better in the afternoon

When I go home it's a motel room

Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I love my smoke filled rooms, dive bars, saloons

I love the ladies undergarments on the knotty pine roofs

I never liked the last call my happy hour's at noon

I drink my Jack out the bottle like a bottle of Boone's

Hey lady with the broom can you play some Johnny Cash

Here's a couple dollars for you for your coaster and glass

She wiped the dust off the bottle gave me single barrel mash

I said "I sip my liquor quicker than your cigarette'll ash"

I hit the bathroom stall, names up on the wall

Conversations with my alcohol seem to be long

I'm contemplatin' takin' time to give my lady a call

Or I'm chasin' down the devil with my latest Jägerbomb

I told my broad I'm on a drinkin' binge I'm at it again

'Cause I love the way she taste I love the squeak of the hinge

When the brass doors open and the smoke seeps in

I hit the bed with my bottle you can bet we sleepin' in 'cause

I breathe better in a smoke filled room

I sleep better in the afternoon

When I go home it's a motel room

Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I breathe better in a smoke filled room

I sleep better in the afternoon

When I go home it's a motel room

Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I love that kind of place, where the neon lights chase

Away all the problems that we all face

When I park it on the stool, I get the kind of feelin'

Take a sip, look up, see dollar bills on the ceilin'

Hear the crack of a cue ball breakin' a rack

Hear a group full of friends, laughin' in the back

Then it hits me like a brick as I wash one down

This the kind of bar that reminds me of my town

If these walls could talk, I know they'd say the same thing

Watched us grow up, and how we all had to change

And my 21st, drink all them shots together

I remember how you said that we'd always last forever

Well that didn't work, babe and I couldn't breathe

You gave me shelter from the storm, when I was in need

So I'ma light a cigarette and give you one more minute

Take another shot of Beam when I'm finished reminiscin' 'cause I

I breathe better in a smoke filled room

I sleep better in the afternoon

When I go home it's a motel room

Moonshine on me, moonshine on you

I breathe better in a smoke filled room

I sleep better in the afternoon

When I go home it's a motel room

Moonshine on me, moonshine on you
