Idea for dark Americana song

Post by songmaster » Wed Feb 01, 2023 7:00 am

I had to get these lyirc out. I don't know where they could be used, but Robin Fredricks said, if you have a song idea, just write it for fun. :)


Red Bull and Whiskey and Little White Lies

In that old kitchen table he buried his knife
Found out his best friend ran off with his wife
He leaned by the sink where the dishes piled high
And swore him an oath by the dim kitchen light

When he'd go to work she would wave from the door
But his mind was unsettled like a dark building storm
Thought he should turn around, but he was so torn
They're both gonna wish they had never been born

Red bull and whiskey and little white lies
He's all fired up to burn the house down tonight
He's heading into town, gonna end someone's life
Red bull and whiskey and little white lies

They're probably together in a two star motel
He thought as he loaded in two shot gun shells
His old pick-up coughed as the amber sun fell
Looking back in the rear view the house burned like hell

A damn broken tail light had spoiled the night
So he tried to out run the cops flashing red lights
He fingered the shot gun there by his side
And said to himself," they won't take me alive".

Red bull and whiskey and little white lies
He's all fired up to burn the house down tonight
He's heading in to town, gonna end someone's life
Red bull and whiskey and little white lies

The white lines were blurring as he picked up speed
Now five cops closed in as he was feeling the heat
In a water filled ditch, went his last vengeful dream
Then he grabbed his old friend in the passenger seat

One flash in the truck, and now he was free

Red bull and whiskey and little white lies
He's all fired up to burn the house down tonight
He's heading into town, gonna end someone's life
Red bull and whiskey and little white lies.
