Put It on My Tab: lyrics
- The dust is settling on a long day’s work
- I’m leaning heavy on this polished birch
- I don't need to look at what I owe
- Just keep ‘em coming, nice and slow
- Slide a cold one to the lady at the end
- The song she’s playing is an old-time friend
- I’ve got enough to cover every cost
- For every single thing I’ve went and lost
- Put it on my tab, let the numbers run
- Until the stars are gone and the night is done
- For the song in the box and the round for the room
- For the morning light and the coming gloom
- Yeah, put it on my tab, every drop and tear
- I’m buying every memory staying here
- Put it on my tab
- Put it on my tab
- I know the look that’s waiting at the door
- I’ve seen this storm a dozen times before
- The way she’ll say it’s finally the end
- And how the silence is my only friend
- So tell the boys to order what they like
- Before I head out in the quiet night
- I’m paying for the peace I haven't found
- Go on and pass another one around
- Put it on my tab, let the numbers run
- Until the stars are gone and the night is done
- For the song in the box and the round for the room
- For the morning light and the coming gloom
- Yeah, put it on my tab, every drop and tear
- I’m buying every memory staying here
- Put it on my tab
- Put it on my tab
- It’s more than just the water and the grain
- It’s the price you pay for living with the rain
- I’ll square it all when I can stand the sight
- But let me be the hero for tonight
- Put it on my tab, let the numbers run
- Until the stars are gone and the night is done
- For the song in the box and the round for the room
- For the morning light and the coming gloom
- Yeah, put it on my tab, every drop and tear
- I’m buying every memory staying here
- Put it on my tab
- Put it on my tab
