Lyrics
Bourbon Trail
Mark Patterson © 2023
I heard they've got something called a bourbon trail
I blazed a few but mine tend to end up in jail
Once again I'm just ahead of my time
She was celebrating a brand new life
After just getting over being somebody's wife
Sayin' don't leave me here when you go honey that'd be a crime
I said believe me when I tell you baby you don't want to cross that line
'Cause I don't know what I'm looking for or tryin' to forget
I keep my eyes open wide for a vision but I ain't seen it yet
Maybe this time I'll finally find the honky tonk holy grail
Waiting for me at the end of that bourbon trail
Let's ride
I don't know what I'm looking for or tryin' to forget
I keep my eyes open wide for a vision but I ain't seen it yet
Maybe this time I'll finally find the honky tonk holy grail
Waiting for me at the end of that bourbon trail
Well I guess I'm blessed to have the guys by my side
They sure seem glad to be along for the ride
Maybe just maybe 'cause it's all on my dime
Feelin' lucky in Kentucky and I'm Bardstown bound
Got my eyes on the prize and my nose to the ground
Why not take a run at it one more time
A double shot of trouble is something I can hardly decline
I don't know what I'm looking for or tryin' to forget
I keep my eyes open wide for a vision but I ain't seen it yet
Maybe this time I'll finally find the honky tonk holy grail
Waiting for me at the end of that bourbon trail
Maybe this time I'll finally find the honky took holy grail
Waiting for me at the end of that bourbon trail
Ah waiting for me at the end of that bourbon trail
Yeah waiting for me at the end of that bourbon trail
