Red Dog Saloon
02/26/12 - FtLd


I was sitting there thinking
When a thought came in my head
Said boy you ain’t had a drink
In over seven days
So get yourself down to the
Red Dog Saloon

Now I cursed myself for thinking
Everything would be okay
Cause I’d been down there before
And god you know I ran away
From a debt I did not pay down at the
Red Dog Saloon

Cause the lights are always flashing
And the minute you walk in
Someone’s sticking you with whiskey
While they’re pouring you bourbon
Fast as they can down at the
Red Dog Saloon

But my brain don’t get excited
When there’s danger at the door
Cause if I got excited
Might spill my drink right on the floor
And I ain’t wasting none of it down at the
Red Dog Saloon

So jesus christ and mary
Watched me walk on right on in
And the holy ghost stood aghast
As I drank double shots of gin
Fast as I could down at the
Red Dog Saloon

And my head it was a spinning
Like moses going down the drain
When someone said hey man you look like
You been here for more than forty days
And I knew that I was in trouble down at the
Red Dog Saloon

But I just kept on drinking
With my left hand and my right
Til someone said hey buddy
You looking for a fight
And that’s when it got interesting down at the
Red Dog Saloon

So I punched him in the face
And he fell down on the floor
But then he kicked me in the balls
And I wasn’t standing anymore
As we hollered punched and swore down at the
Red Dog Saloon

But we got back to our feet
And you know the fight it just got wilder
I broke a chair over his head
Then he set my hair on fire
And I swore I’d die down at the
Red Dog Saloon

And just when we thought
There was nothing worse that we could do
The police came on on in and said
What you doing there you two
And they took us off to jail from the
Red Dog Saloon

So we sat handcuffed in that cop car
And as it slowly pulled away
The other fella he just turned to me
And this is all he said:
He said... uhh... you are gonna pay me back
That five bucks you owe me one of these days...
Aren’t you?
And I said... yeah... sure... one of these days.
Down at the... down at the
Red Dog Saloon
