Bucks & Boots & Blues

Şarkı Sözleri

[INTRO] Twilight on the prairie, neon lights flicker Guitar riffs slap like a storm in the air [VERSE 1] Sittin’ in a honky‑tonk, the price of a cold one climbs The cashier’s smile’s thin, but the cash register chimes B.B. croons a low, lonesome tune, while Hendrix takes a lick The money’s a balloon, and the world’s a trick [CHORUS] All the things that cost more, oh, how they rise Like a freight train on a dusty line I’ll keep the swing, I’ll keep the blues But the bills, they just won’t lose [VERSE 2] The Texas wind’s still strong, but the rent’s a mountain high My boots are worn and I’m tired, yet I’ll keep the guitar in eye The whiskey’s gone, the love’s still there, but the price tag keeps on growin’ I’ve got a heart of fire, but my pockets feel like low‑lowin’ [CHORUS] All the things that cost more, oh, how they rise Like a freight train on a dusty line I’ll keep the swing, I’ll keep the blues But the bills, they just won’t lose [BRIDGE] The radio plays a dusty song, I’m riffin’ in the rain A dollar for a dream, but the dream’s still the same So I’ll strum the strings, I’ll play the blues And watch the prices slide to blues [HOOK] Price tags, price tags, they keep climbin’ higher But I keep swingin’, keep risin’ higher [CHORUS] All the things that cost more, oh, how they rise Like a freight train on a dusty line I’ll keep the swing, I’ll keep the blues But the bills, they just won’t lose [OUTRO] The last chord echoes under the moon The costs keep climbing, but my soul’s immune
