Текст песни
They all left when the band stopped playing
But I kept drinking, kept on staying
The stool remembers every night
The bass still hums, the lamp burns light
I told the barkeep, "don't you close
The blues don't end, it just re-grows"
He smiled and said, "you're history"
I said, "yeah, but it's all of me"
The man who stayed, I've heard them say
Still prays to whiskey every day
The testament in amber shines
A gospel written between the lines
I ain't no saint, I ain't no thief
Just found my peace beneath belief
The bass forgives, the glass forgets
The devil smiles - we're even yet
The dawn creeps in, the night won't die,
I lift my glass and close one eye.
The man who stayed, he won't repent,
He's writing blues, his testament.
