Midnight Lion
Lyrics
Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh-oh
Verse 1
Midnight lion walks the strip
Tacos stacked up on his lips
Twelve o'clock and no one knows
He's the king of broken roads
Beer can sweating in his paw
City humming like a saw
Pre-Chorus
He don't need a crown
Just a corner bar
Just the neon hum
Of a stolen car
Chorus
Midnight lion pour me one
The night is young the day is done
Midnight lion pass the plate
Let the good times rattle late
Post-Chorus
Rattle rattle late
Rattle rattle late
Verse 2
Crumbs and foam upon his mane
Laughing through the falling rain
Every sip a little prayer
Every bite a spinning chair
Nobody asks him where he's been
Nobody wants that tired grin
Pre-Chorus
He don't need a throne
Just a kitchen light
Just a paper cup
In the pale moonlight
Chorus
Midnight lion pour me one
The night is young the day is done
Midnight lion pass the plate
Let the good times rattle late
Post-Chorus
Rattle rattle late
Rattle rattle late
Bridge
Strings in minor climbing slow
Distant drums begin to grow
Four AM and still he stays
Wearing out the golden days
Chorus
Midnight lion pour me one
The night is young the day is done
Midnight lion pass the plate
Let the good times rattle late
Post-Chorus
Rattle rattle late
Rattle rattle late
