The Devil Drinks Bourbon Neat
TitanChord
He don't take ice, he don't take soda
He don't take "no" and he don't take long
Slides in the booth like a Sunday hearse
Tips the waitress, hums an old song
Asked me what I owed
Asked me what I knew
Asked me what I'd do for kin
And what kin I'd do it to
The devil drinks bourbon neat, son
The devil drinks bourbon neat
He'll buy you a third when you can't sit straight
And the third one walks you to your seat
The devil drinks bourbon neat
Said the man on the highway with the broken jaw
Was a brother of mine since '89
Said the bank in Tulsa with the loose back door
Was a brother of his since the very same time
Said he didn't pull the trigger
Just handed out the rope
Said he didn't rob the safe
Just left the back door open, slow
The devil drinks bourbon neat, boys
The devil drinks bourbon neat
He'll buy you a third when you can't sit straight
And the third one walks you to your seat
The devil drinks bourbon neat
Slid an envelope across the wood
Didn't tell me what was in
Just said "Brother, I'm glad you're back
I always knew you'd come"
The devil drinks bourbon neat, y'all
The devil drinks bourbon neat
Pays the tab in a fold of green
Tips a dollar for the receipt
The devil drinks bourbon neat
The devil drinks bourbon neat
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
He don't take ice, he don't take soda He don't take "no" and he don't take long Slides in the booth like a Sunday hearse Tips the waitress, hums an old song
Asked me what I owed Asked me what I knew Asked me what I'd do for kin And what kin I'd do it to
The devil drinks bourbon neat, son The devil drinks bourbon neat He'll buy you a third when you can't sit straight And the third one walks you to your seat The devil drinks bourbon neat
Said the man on the highway with the broken jaw Was a brother of mine since '89 Said the bank in Tulsa with the loose back door Was a brother of his since the very same time
Said he didn't pull the trigger Just handed out the rope Said he didn't rob the safe Just left the back door open, slow
The devil drinks bourbon neat, boys The devil drinks bourbon neat He'll buy you a third when you can't sit straight And the third one walks you to your seat The devil drinks bourbon neat
Slid an envelope across the wood Didn't tell me what was in Just said "Brother, I'm glad you're back I always knew you'd come"
The devil drinks bourbon neat, y'all The devil drinks bourbon neat Pays the tab in a fold of green Tips a dollar for the receipt The devil drinks bourbon neat The devil drinks bourbon neat
