Al Duvall - Closing Time Lyrics

Put a bullet in the jukebox
'Cause love songs make me cry
Tell the cowboy squeaking cue chalks
To reach up for the sky
All you rumpots from the boondocks
Lay your billfolds on the bar
Get on the floor like dirty dogs
'Cause that's just what you are

It's closing time, raise them high
One last shot, then say goodbye
To all your friends
This is where your drunken journey ends

You drunkards are all sinners
You gamble, cheat and fight
While your loved ones wait and wonder
What you'll do them tonight
Then you crawl along the gravel
To a car you can't control
Here's a twelve-gauge cup of coffee
To sober up your soul

It's closing time, raise them high
One last shot, then say goodbye
To all your friends
This is where your drunken journey ends
Guess I'll wind back through the foothills
On State Road 53
The red sky in the morning
Looks pretty good to me
Little crosses by the highway
There's one just for my wife
And some day I'll be even with
The drunk who took her life

It's closing time, raise them high
One last shot, then say goodbye
To all your friends
This is where your drunken journey ends
This is where your drunken journey ends
