High Noon on Broadway Music City Row
He's outside of Gruhn's playin' songs nobody knows
Standing there with nothing he got on his own
From a lifetime of losing worn like a precious stone

Big feather in his hat nothin' in his case
Cheap dirty white guitar glazed eyes and weathered face
It was straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey and cold nights in the snow
That put him on that corner to play another show

Every day's a drinking day was his killer line
I put five dollars in his case and locked that in my mind
Every song's a train wreck but it buys another beer
Everyday's a drinking day and brother he don't care

He said I might look like nothing, down and gone
A little ragged around the edges and a long way from home
Some people think that money is a god that sets them free
Well standing here and singing does the same for me

Every day's a drinking day was his killer line
I put five dollars in his case just to make it mine
Every song's a train wreck but it buys another beer
Everyday's a drinking day and brother I don't care
