[Dark Outlaw Country / Gothic Folk / Junkyard Blues, 82 BPM, lowest male baritone/bass vocal, rough but controlled delivery, sarcastic upbeat storytelling, banjo-driven rhythm, gritty acoustic instrumentation, distorted harmonica lead instead of electric guitar, no cinematic effects, no operatic vocals, no excessive drama, dry, dirty, organic mix] [INTRO – INSTRUMENTAL] [Verse 1] There's a jug of moonshine standing by, Just me and my guitar on the porch tonight. Most folks who knew us both are six feet down, Looks like you and me, my six-string girlfriend, Gotta answer for 'em all before our time runs out. [Chorus] So pour it up, let's talk till dawn-party pooper, About men's affairs and women's uppers. And pour again — rinse till white, Grieve till a cry, drink till a fight… [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Too damn sad, old wooden thing, you sing, I see you're hoarse, and a little drunk tonight. Maybe this old house ain't no good for you, you think? Sorry, girl, I've got no other home to go to, And I've got no coins but songs that ring. [Chorus] So pour it up, let's talk till dawn-party pooper, About men's affairs and women's uppers. And pour again — rinse till white, Grieve till a cry, drink till a fight… [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Old guitar, see what you've done? The neighbor heard the jingle of your sorrow and came by. Now he'll tell us where this whole damn country's gone, How herds of failures now graze where the buffalo once roamed, And we'll drink together — like real men do — to each other, honestly lie. [Chorus] So pour it up, let's talk till dawn-party pooper, About men's affairs and women's uppers. And pour again — rinse till white, Grieve till a cry, drink till a fight… [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] So pour it up, let's talk till dawn-party pooper, About men's affairs and women's uppers. And pour again — rinse till white, Grieve till a cry, drink till a fight… [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] So pour it up, let's talk till dawn-party pooper, About men's affairs and women's uppers. And pour again — rinse till white, Grieve till a cry, drink till a fight… [Extended Instrumental Outro]
