Name: Rail Bourbon
Duration: P00H03M10S
Description: Austin: I came up with the lyrics to this one, but just couldn't seem to nail the singing, so Zach ended up singing this Kentucky klassic, which is only appropriate. The lyrics were inspired mostly by the products and fun we encountered in Kentucky - much time on tour was spent smoking cigarettes and seeking various regional sodas.

lyrics

Billy comes in bellies up to the bar and it's curtains.
His hair ain't in place, the look on his face, oh it's certain....
he's hurtin'... he's hurtin'... oh gimme some of that there rail bourbon.

He usually orders Ale 8 One and Wild Turkey,
he says they're both the finest they make in Kentucky.

Rail bourbon, that rail bourbon, gimme some of that rail bourbon!

In a week he'll consume close to a case and carton
those Kentucky's Best won't relieve the stress he's incurring,
just a river of whiskey until he is swept by its current

Rail bourbon, that rail bourbon, gimme some of that rail bourbon!
