Whiskey Ghost of Renegade Ridge

作曲：Levi Stoker

作词：Levi Stoker

The label's peeled away

And the cork is dry as bone

Sittin' in the cabin where he used to stand alone

The hulk is full of cold ash

The kerosene is spent

But you can still smell the gunpowder

And the way the iron bent

They say he didn't die

He just evaporated slow

Into the limestone cracks

Where the bitter braves grow

The liquid's gone but the burn is living in the chest

Of every man who wonders why a rebel never gets to rest

Oh he's a whiskey ghost

A renegade rich tonight

Haunting every shadow

And outlastin' every light

The bottle's lookin' hollow

And the fire's lookin' dead

But the stories pour out stronger than the things the preacher said

Yeah you can bury the body

But you can't bury the name

He's a hundred proof spirit

Dancin' in a dyin' flame

Old Pete's with his arm neath against the lightning struck oak

Wrapped in a cloud of blue tinted tobacco smoke

Others say judge the vibration in the ground

Whenever heavyweight fighter is looking to be found

He's a heavyweight champion of a forgotten jagged hill

And doin' what the law and the liquor never could quite kill

Oh he's a whiskey ghost

A renegade rich tonight

Haunting every shadow

And outlastin' every light

The bottle's lookin' hollow

And the fire's lookin' dead

But the stories pour out stronger than the things the preacher said

Yeah you can bury the body

But you can't bury the name

He's a hundred proof spirit

Dancin' in a dyin' flame

Keep on pouring

Still roll

The canvas is ticket but the spirit is clean

I'm the toughest damn rebel that this world ever seen

I ain't out of breath

I'm just finding my second wind

Whiskey go

Host to the most

Fires out

Beyond the doubt
