(Don't Burn Down) Kelly's

from Trench Digging During Peacetime by Left-Handed 2nd Baseman

/

lyrics

Don't you burn down Kelly's, Don't you burn down like I did/
All of those nights as I sat 'neath your lights
and a Tom Collins ran thru my head

And don't blame yourself for my ID/
honestly it kinda looked like me/
so I'd sit out the cold at nineteen years old
in the only place I knew how to be

I became a senior in my sophomore year/ cheap liquor took the place of warm beer/
and some nights we'd go across the street at 1:30 but mostly we'd just stay there

And the signatures scrawled up the wall
Told the stories that escape us all
We carved our name in a booth, you me and the crew
but our love didn't die in those flames

And I remember after the first gig I ever played
you turned off your lights but you stayed open late
you knew rebels like us you could trust to lock up
after all we all protect our home

Repeat Chorus

The drinks are supposed to burn not the bar
The drinks are supposed to burn not the bar
Thanks for the memories and thanks for your heart
The drinks are supposed to burn not the bar
And thanks for helping me make it this far
the drinks are supposed to burn not the bar
