Sweet Tea and Jack

Verse 1

Damn if it ain't the Lonewolf walkin through that door tonight

Bartender sees him comin knows the order before he's in the light

Sweet tea on the counter shot of Jack beside

Tips his brim to nobody tips his hat to the ones who slide

Big blue eyes cuttin through the smoky haze

That walk says plenty every bootstep sets the place ablaze

Nobody steps up nobody dares to make a sound

Keep your girl close Lonеwolf's the one who wears the crown

Pre-Chorus

They size him up

They think they know

But they don't know

Chorus

Lonewolf don't come to play the game

Lonewolf don't answer to a name

One sip of sweet tea one burn of the rye

Walk out that door with a fire in his eyes

Keep your woman close or he's leavin with her tonight

Verse 2

Old scratched counter tells the stories that he never tells

Every scar a sentence every bruise a broken bell

He don't start the trouble but he sure can finish it fast

Last man that tried learned a lesson that was meant to last

Pre-Chorus

They whisper low

They step aside

They swallow pride

Chorus

Lonewolf don't come to play the game

Lonewolf don't answer to a name

One sip of sweet tea one burn of the rye

Walk out that door with a fire in his eyes

Keep your woman close or he's leavin with her tonight

Bridge

Some say he's trouble

Some say he's lost

But the night he's been through

Would break a lesser man's cost

That hat pulled low that silence loud

A king at the bar in a dusty crowd

Chorus

Lonewolf don't come to play the game

Lonewolf don't answer to a name

One sip of sweet tea one burn of the rye

Walk out that door with a fire in his eyes

Keep your woman close or he's leavin with her tonight

Hook

Leavin with her

Leavin with her tonight
