lyrics

City lights shine brightly as the night life begins
I have paid my dues and the weekend drags on in
Got a blue collar job; like working in hell
Paycheck’s getting smaller and my freedom as well

Taste the juices flowing; feel the power surge
Emptiness and numbing; an uncontrollable urge
Life in a bottle, living on borrowed time
Can’t escape this world; like walking on a thin line

Working to live; living to work
Wife left me for someone and all I have is my shirt
Is this the end or just a change in time
Make a deal with the devil though I’ve done no crime

Taste the juices flowing; feel the whiskey burn
Bring on another; an uncontrollable urge
Life in a bottle, living on borrowed time
Gonna leave this world with my life on the line

Pour me another; a toast to all my friends
Does it really matter if it’s the end
Sooner or later I gotta take another shot
Doesn’t really matter; it’s all I’ve got

Taste the juices flowing; feel the whiskey burn
Bring on another; an uncontrollable urge
Life in a bottle, living on borrowed time
Can’t escape this world; it’s the end of the line

about

The Ian Black Band Brewer, Maine

Formed in 2012 with a purpose to write, compose, and arrange good music.

Ian Black hails from the western shores of the North Sea who came to America in the early 70s. A self-taught musician, Ian inspired the founding members of the band and later adopted all of them into his family. We are all hoping that he leaves us something of worth, other than the music, after he departs this world. ... more
