Demons

You were made in the twilight
of a good day gone bad
in the haze of whiskey
on the best night she ever had
Mama tried to love you
but she had to make her own way
‘cause your papa he was just no account
and mostly MIA

You’re a good Christian on Sunday
but when Monday comes around
there’s nothing like Johnny Walker Red
to keep them demons down
the demons that haunt you
that bring you to your knees
don’t know where they come
from must run in the family

Now a job can make a man
or it can tear you up inside
and a woman she can love you
or just take you for a ride
so you live in learn
you drift a while
at the bottom of the well
searching for salvation
on this ragged road to hell

You’re a good Christian on Sunday
but when Monday comes around
there’s nothing like Johnny Walker Red
to keep them demons down
the demons that haunt you
that bring you to your knees
don’t know where they come from
must run in the family

There’s no tomorrow
no yesterday
there are no do overs
in the cold light of day
there’s no forgiveness
ain’t no reason why
there’s just but one day
at a time in this life

Solo

You’re a good Christian on Sunday
but when Monday comes around
there’s nothing like Johnny Walker Red
to keep them demons down
the demons that haunt you
that bring you to your knees
don’t know where they come from
must run in the family
must run in the family
must run in the family
must run in the family
