Sweet Salvation Lyrics

Bernadette Seacrest Sweet Salvation

Sweet Salvation

( Michael Grimes )

Bottles of liquor and these smoky bars
Lifelong companions when seen from afar
Cigarette cherry, my lone guiding star
Shining light on my salvation
Shining light on my salvation

Signs in the window flicker and start
The diligent barkeep is playing his part
The sweet smell of bourbon, so dear to my heart
Shows the way to my salvation
Shows the way to my salvation

Liquor and cigarettes, desires and dreams
Brings light to the troubled, forgives and redeems
More often than not, it s not as bad as it seems
When I'm here with my salvation

Liquor and cigarettes, desires and dreams
Brings light to the troubled, forgives and redeems
More often than not, it s not as bad as it seems
When I'm here with my salvation

Chairs on the tables, sweep up the floor
Piano sits silent, entertaining no more
The kitchen's been closed, the cook's out the door
On the road to sweet salvation
On the road to sweet salvation
On the road to sweet salvation
On the road...
