[Verse 1 – lead] We kept drinking whiskey, and rye like the tune from long ago Two good ol’ boys with nothing planned but letting old songs flow We drained two bottles empty, just two fellas, singing strong And we kept on through the darkness Singing songs all night long [Verse 1 – background] (singing songs all night long) [Chorus – all] Hey now, pass it down the line! (down the line!) Another pour to keep the rhyme! (keep the rhyme!) I said, “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!) And the echoes carried on in time! Hey now, pass it down the line! (down the line!) Two fellas where we belonged (where we belonged!) We drank those bottles empty Singing songs all night long (all night long) [Verse 2 – lead] You played chords by fading firelight, I hummed until I knew 'em right Old tunes, new tunes, anything to keep the night alive in sight A quiet porch, a louder heart, the moments soft and strong And the whole world shrank around us Singing songs all night long [Verse 2 – background] (singing songs all night long) [Chorus – all] Hey now, pass it down the line! (down the line!) Another pour to keep the rhyme! (keep the rhyme!) I said, “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!) And the echoes carried on in time! Hey now, pass it down the line! (down the line!) Two fellas where we belonged (where we belonged!) We drank those bottles empty Singing songs all night long (all night long) [Bridge – chant, printed four times] Just two hearts! (just two hearts!) With a fella song! (with a fella song!) Just two hearts! (just two hearts!) And the night so long! (night so long!) Just two hearts! (just two hearts!) Where the whiskey’s strong! (whiskey’s strong!) Just two hearts! (just two hearts!) Singing all night long! (all night long!) [Final Chorus – all] Hey now, pass it down the line! (down the line!) Another pour to keep the rhyme! (keep the rhyme!) I said, “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!) And the echoes carried on in time! Hey now, pass it down the line! (down the line!) Two fellas where we belonged (where we belonged!) We drank those bottles empty Singing songs all night long (all night long)
