about

Once upon a time I was at a wonderful backyard surprise wedding proposal. We friends all learned a surprise song to sing, there was fire and whiskey and dogs and happy engagement tears. This one is 100% for you Ali & Pando.

lyrics

on the second to the longest night of the year
drunk on old laughter and american beer
you touch my shoulder that sunburned flesh
thirsty from stars that were reaching for breath

CHORUS
whiskey and burn barrels under an almost full moon
in a back yard in northern california
singing old songs of fate love and booze
fills up our nights off from working

we sing in off time we sing out of tune
never knowing the answer
but we've got that old country tune
makes sure we keep dancing

CHORUS

fern forms a circle
our hands form a song
love comes on like thunder
ambers got whiskey she's passing it round
dust kicks up this adventure

CHORUS

roachie made cake
maggie sang lead
sailor plucked out a
sad tune [pause]
but under this dusty old
oakland sky
we can all laugh crazy
o'er those things we do

CHORUS
