Billy Strings - Fire On My Tongue lyrics

There ain't enough corn mash in this whole sorry town To wash off or burn out the way it all went down That cork squeaks so loud, when it's sneaking it's way out That I'm afraid to death she's going to hear Now the fire on my tongue is for those who die young And the weariness of we who stayed behind There's a poison sickness in my heart And I don't trust the ashes of my mind I've got too many sorrows, and far too little time To sit and drown these memories under Tennessee rye But the salt on the rim, has mе thinkin' about him And my shaking hands can't hold back no more tears Now the firе on my tongue is for those who die young And the weariness of we who stayed behind There's a poison sickness in my heart And I don't trust the ashes of my mind Whispering my shame to the bottom of my glass Won't get me through the dawn, and make the darkness pass So I hold out tonight, I clinch this bottle tight And drink about the light I saw in you Now the fire on my tongue is for those who die young And the weariness of we who stayed behind There's a poison sickness in my heart, it's tearing me apart And I don't trust the ashes of my mind
