12:01
[Verse 1]
It's 12:01
The rain and wipers play a spooky song
As I cross the O'Neil bridge and Colbert County line
To where the liquor laws are different
[Verse 2]
It's 12:01
The zombies are buying liquor 'cause it's Monday morning
And I'm sitting in the parking lot as they flip the sign
And I always see some friends as I stand in line
[Bridge]
And I head to Billy Ringo's and I'll stay there 'til dawn
To where the music's always playing
I take his banjo and strum along
To chase away the morning
[Verse 3]
2:45
And I know she's home sleeping as I open number five
It's this company I'm keeping
That's keeping me alive
[Verse 4]
These friends of mine
A bunch of lost cases just marking time
Before life's supposed to start, guess in the end it's fine
Maybe, maybe not, ain't getting out alive
[Outro]
She told me she don't care if I come back here anymore
But if I do, move quietly as I open up the door
Crawl across the bedroom and pull back on the covers
In the end it's evident it's over, it's over, it's over
