Written shortly after releasing our first album in 2012, but not making it onto our second album in 2014, Wedding Day Barfly is a kick-ass rock n' roll B-side that is just too fun not to share.
lyrics
Wedding Day Barfly
I don’t wanna be the one burned out chasing my last cigarette.
Like Peter Pan’s old lost boy soul, now I’m chasing my silhouette.
And I’m searching for that lost road - don’t think I’m looking in the right place.Posted up between a worn out vet and a trick named Darlene.
Mad woman she done broke my heart, took it with her in a suitcase.
Now I drink and I run and I roam, but I can’t seem to get away.
And I’m searching for that lost road somewhere, anywhere might do.
Keep my feet moving any direction, girl as long as it’s away from you.
Mad woman she done broke my heart so I had to get away.
Life’s icing’s in a woman’s sigh and I’m gonna get a taste...
put your finger in it.
Have you ever met a man gone mad? I’m gonna drink myself death.
But holy rollers wanna bet my soul – the only thing I got left. Sorta.
And I’m searching for that lost road - don’t think it’s heading down this aisle.Tied up, running for my life, watch me burn through the night.
Ah, woman with a broken heart, white dress flowing with a train.
Diamond rings don’t mean a thing, even ones I might’ve gave.
Don’t put your finger in it.
