[Intro] [Verse 1] Another shadow slipping out into the night Left a broken latch and an empty shelf Yeah, he steals the spirit just to numb himself. [Pre-Chorus] (Ooh, running blind) He don't want the gold, he don't want the crown Just a taste of fire to burn the memory down. [Chorus] Bourbon Bandit riding on the wind again (Drinking with the devil's men) Leaving nothing but a glass and a trace of smoke Another promise that the nighttime broke Yeah, the Bourbon Bandit’s gone before the sun can rise With the taste of amber and a pack of lies. [Verse 2] Liquid amber flowing like a stolen stream Washing out the edges of a broken dream The county sheriff’s looking for a phantom name But you can’t arrest a man who lives inside the flame He leaves a copper coin on the counter top A little payment for the pain that just won't stop. [Pre-Chorus] He don't want the gold, he don't want the crown Just a taste of fire to burn the memory down. [Chorus] Bourbon Bandit riding on the wind again (Drinking with the devil's men) Leaving nothing but a glass and a trace of smoke Another promise that the nighttime broke Yeah, the Bourbon Bandit’s gone before the sun can rise With the taste of amber and a pack of lies. [Bridge] Pour it up, pour it down... (down to the bone) Ain't no shelter in this ghost town... (all alone) One more sip to forget her face One more track that they can't erase... [Outro] Gone into the dark... Bourbon Bandit...
