The Ballad of Bourbon Street Lyrics

Losing control, another drink

See how low my life can sink

Stumbling words, a blurry sight

Ready to start a barroom fight

Picking me up, it's always the same

Bourbon Street's calling my name

Oh, whiskey demon, dark and strong

Pushing me where I don't belong

Another night, another fall

Bourbon Street answers my call

Bourbon Street, where legends meet

A challenge laid down at my feet

A hurricane of sin and shots

Alcohol whore, that's what I've got

Shots on shots, I'm feeling brave

Tonight might just be my early grave

Oh, whiskey demon, dark and strong

Pushing me where I don't belong

Another night, another fall

Bourbon Street answers my call

Head's a mess, body's a wreck

Drowning sorrows by the neck

No escape from this twisted fate

Another round, it's getting late

Night winds down, the battle's through

One last shot, make it a double too

Jaeger bomb to seal the deal

Erase this night, so I can't feel

Bourbon Street, you win again

Battered and bruised, til the next time then

Oh, whiskey demon, dark and strong

Pushing me where I don't belong

Another night, another fall

Bourbon Street answers my call

Bourbon Street, I'll see you soon

The taste of defeat, an all too-familiar tune
