Chris Haise Band - Whiskey Neat, Coffee Black

There's a light that shines
A little less on moonlit nights
On the dirt where I rode my bike
When I was ten
I ain't one to question
A sudden sense of introspection
You can leave in any direction
And still get home again
Dressed in Sunday best
Whiskey neat and coffee black
It's a quick drive to the bar
But buddy it's a long walk back
Let it be a lesson
It can be awfully hard to rest when
Where you sleep and where you confess
Are on the same block
I mistake shooting stars
For headlights on passing cars
But me and this town tick in time to the same clock
Dressed in Sunday best
Whiskey neat and coffee black
It's a quick drive to the bar
But buddy it's a long walk back
I pass an empty fire station
Does it have a new location?
The hours that I wasted
Will I ever find them again?
I had a dream about this street
About the roots beneath my feet
About how memories deceive
You just don't know where or when
Dressed in Sunday best
Whiskey neat and coffee black
It's a quick drive to the bar
But buddy it's a long walk back
