Boogie Woogie Outlaw Saloon

Prelude

Sun bleached highway, dust rising slow

Tumbleweed memories, nowhere to go

Lap steel whining, the story begins

Leather and trouble, thick as the wind

Verse 1

Knuckles and blue jeans, boots scrape the floor

Stories get started behind the old door

Lonesome beginnings, a man and his pride

Reckon the night’s where the wild things confide

Chorus

Boogie woogie outlaw saloon, boots tappin late afternoon

Roundin up trouble, makin the rules, whiskey pourin, playin the fool

Barstools rockin side to side, outlaws laugh with nothing to hide

Boogie woogie outlaw saloon, we’re all just chasin the moon

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, let that old piano play

Oh oh, we’ll dance it all away

Verse 2

Cards on the table, fortunes collide

Gravel in voices, wild horses outside

Smoke rings rising, deals gettin made

Someone’s always winnin, someone gets played

Pre-Chorus

Spurs in the sawdust, nowhere to run

The night carries on ‘til the break of the sun

Chorus

Boogie woogie outlaw saloon, boots tappin late afternoon

Roundin up trouble, makin the rules, whiskey pourin, playin the fool

Barstools rockin side to side, outlaws laugh with nothing to hide

Boogie woogie outlaw saloon, we’re all just chasin the moon

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, let that old piano play

Oh oh, we’ll dance it all away

Bridge

Moonlight flickers on the sawdust floor

Old scars remembered, still wanting more

Ghosts of the past all gather here

Raise up a glass, forget every fear

Banjo solo

Piano solo

Outro 1 - Male Vocal, Group harmonies

Pitch black sky and an empty canteen

Leftover stories and boots to clean

A slow song fading on battered keys

We’re hearts outta luck and wild as the breeze

All together on a one-way road

Goodbye called with a whiskey toast

Boogie woogie outlaw sound, carry us home

Chorus - Male Vocal, Group harmonies

Boogie woogie outlaw saloon, life spins wild beneath the moon

Fiddle’s crying, banjo leads, running free with rowdy deeds

Raise your glass for the ones we’ve known, this restless spirit’s never alone

Boogie woogie outlaw saloon, together, we ride on soon
