Barroom Benediction

Raise the glass, not too high
This ain't a toast to being right
This is for the ones who sat back down
And made a church out of a weeknight

Raise the coal till it shows its heart
Red as a warning, warm as a friend
We don't sing pretty. We don't sing long
We just let the smoke say amen

If you got a name that still don't fit you
Set it on the wood and let it rest
If you got a debt that don't sleep neither
Pay it in hours. That's the test

Bless the pour
Bless the draw
Bless the man who don't talk
Bless the ash
Bless the dark
Bless the long way back to the lot

Raise the glass, raise the glass
Raise the glass, not too high
Raise the glass, not too high
Raise the glass, not too high
Raise the glass, not too high
