Bernadette Seacrest - Sweet Salvation lyrics

(by Michael Grimes) Bottles of liquor and these smoky bars Lifelong companions when seen from afar Cigarette cherry, my lone guiding star Shining light on my salvation Shining light on my salvation Signs in the window flicker and start The diligent barkeep is playing his part The sweet smell of bourbon, so dear to my heart Shows the way to my salvation Shows the way to my salvation Liquor and cigarettes, desires and dreams Brings light to the troubled, forgives and redeems More often than not, it s not as bad as it seems When I'm here with my salvation Liquor and cigarettes, desires and dreams Brings light to the troubled, forgives and redeems More often than not, it s not as bad as it seems When I'm here with my salvation Chairs on the tables, sweep up the floor Piano sits silent, entertaining no more The kitchen's been closed, the cook's out the door On the road to sweet salvation On the road to sweet salvation On the road to sweet salvation On the road
