Just a Phantom 🧟‍♀️

Lyrics

[Style: Texas Country, Southern Rock, Heavy Electric Guitar, Driving Drums, Fiddle, Raw Vocals] [Verse 1] Neon lights flickering through the dusty screen At a lonely bar on the edge of Abilene I sit right here in the corner booth each night Pouring double whiskeys under dim yellow light Looking at the door, waiting for it to swing Hoping for the magic that your memory brings [Chorus] And I'm waiting on a shadow that never shows Drinking down the whiskey only Texas knows One look in the dark, now you're forever gone Just a phantom in the neon till the break of dawn [Lead Guitar Solo] (Twangy overdriven telecaster solo, southern rock style) [Verse 2] Order up another, bartender knows the routine Searching every doorway for a girl I’ve barely seen Just one fleeting glance on a Friday night in May Now I’m trapped in this saloon while the hours fade away [Chorus] And I'm waiting on a shadow that never shows Drinking down the whiskey only Texas knows One look in the dark, now you're forever gone Just a phantom in the neon till the break of dawn [Fiddle Solo] (Fast, high-energy Texan fiddle solo with heavy rhythm section) [Bridge] Maybe you were just a dream floating through the smoke Or a cruel twist of fate for a heart that broke But I’ll keep my boots parked right beside this stool Just another lonely cowboy playing the fool [Heavy Electric Guitar Solo] (Aggressive distorted guitar solo, heavy riffing, high bends) [Chorus] And I'm waiting on a shadow that never shows Drinking down the whiskey only Texas knows One look in the dark, now you're forever gone Just a phantom in the neon till the break of dawn [Outro] Yeah, just a phantom in the neon... Still waiting on that shadow... (Heavy guitar chords fading out with screaming lead notes)
