Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] The door sticks hard, then gives beneath my hand Wet wool steaming by the old beer stand One red bulb hums above the register You pour my drink like you don't remember [Verse 2] Double bass thumps where the floorboards bend Your empty chair keeps waiting by the end The organ drops one note behind the room A train rolls low and shakes the cutlery loose [Chorus] Don't say my name, don't turn that way I came for one and I've been here all day That harmonica cries through the kitchen wall And every bad decision knows my call [Verse 3] Fuzzy six-string snarls beside the grate The bartender wipes the same glass, waits Smoke hangs thick in the collar of my coat I taste your goodbye in the words I never spoke [Bridge] If morning finds me folded in this booth Leave the tab beneath the broken tooth No sermon, no mercy, no borrowed ride Just shut the door and let the bass line slide [Chorus] Don't say my name, don't turn that way I came for one and I've been here all day That harmonica cries through the kitchen wall And every bad decision knows my call [Outro] The door sticks hard, the room goes black One last organ note, then nothing coming back
