The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Beer Bottles and Lead

Dull endless sights and slow restless nights

Oh the magnitude stifles the eyes 

Parboiled schemes and tar soiled dreams

Soon your rifle attitude replies


Quick Draw McGraw, we know, you've done it all

That means your temper is semper tonight 

You're so quick on the draw, how quickly they fall

When each night in some bar room you fight 


Your throttle's in red, beer bottles and lead

Slinging bullets and bottles of brew

One's quicker with lead, and you find yourself dead

Just a stranger that nobody knew
