[Intro] [steel-string acoustic guitar strumming in 4/4] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals enter] I thought I'd put this all behind me I'd found a love to take me home But the sound of the slamming door reminds me I ain't nothing but an ash hole since you're gone [Chorus] And where there's smoke the flames will find me Just like a fool I never learn Remnants of the bridges burned behind me Every time I see the tables turn I feel that whiskey burn [Verse 2] From the beach you can see the fires a-raging In the marshes on this Southeast Texas coast With a bottle and a guitar here to save me I lose myself in that amber glow [Chorus] And where there's smoke the flames will find me Just like a fool I never learn Remnants of the bridges burned behind me Every time I see the tables turn I feel that whiskey burn [Verse 3] By the light of the flares of the refineries I cast a shadow on this familiar barroom door Inside the smoke's so thick it's blinding As I make my way to taste another pour [Bridge] Another loss, another shot of whiskey Another fire goes up in smoke The cold night air reaches up and hits me As the flames burn down my throat [Chorus] And where there's smoke the flames will find me Just like a fool I never learn Remnants of the bridges burned behind me Every time I see the tables turn I feel that whiskey burn [guitar final strum and ring out]
