lyrics

There's a beating heart in this old caged machine
and a broken hymn that I can't bare to sing
there's a road we took and every dream that died
with our last sacred page on the passenger side

yeah our whiskey breath bent the metal roof
and all the love we brewed it was a 100 proof
from a dance floor still in a ghost town saloon
the colored lights flashing in praise
in praise of a Forty Watt Moon

I earned these bloodshot eyes on down a trail of tears
to a broken hymn that I can't bare to hear
there's a road we took by God it's running on
and I'd chase after you but hell, the transmissions gone
where the gasoline done turned to sour mash
every gauge ran too hot hell, it lit up the dash
in a tumbleweed blaze and a smokestack perfume
I'm going to burn for our sins by the light
of a Forty Watt Moon

yeah, come on follow me down by the river side
where the waters rose and all that magic died
every holy house fell in some old raging flood
the chapel doors sank like a barge in the mud
where our whiskey breath done bent the metal roof
but all the love we brewed it was a 100 proof
from a dance floor still in a ghost town saloon
the colored lights flashing in praise
in praise
of a Forty Watt Moon
