[Verse 1]
Harper walked in worn out
Gun still cold from the field
Pigeons laughed in the dust
Like his aim got sealed
He threw back his hat
Stared into the wood
Said luck left town early
And it never came back good
[Pre-Chorus]
Now he’s at the bar
Counting losses on ice
Two fingers of trouble
Trying to pay for a life
He says, "One more round"
Like that changes the game
But the mirror gives back
The same old name
[Chorus]
Double Maker’s Mark
That’s his prayer tonight
Romeo at the corner
Looking for a little light
Double Maker’s Mark
Make the dice come right
He loves to gamble, lose, then laugh
Then walk back out the night
Double Maker’s Mark
Double Maker’s Mark
[Verse 2]
They call him Romeo
When the grin is clean
When he talks too smooth
And the money’s all green
But the girls don’t stay
When the luck runs thin
They like the heat at first
Then they vanish again
He folds his cards too fast
Spills truth on the bar
Says every heart’s a rodeo
And every scar’s a star
[Pre-Chorus]
Now he’s at the bar
Counting losses on ice
Two fingers of trouble
Trying to pay for a life
He says, "One more round"
Like that changes the game
But the mirror gives back
The same old name
[Chorus]
Double Maker’s Mark
That’s his prayer tonight
Romeo at the corner
Looking for a little light
Double Maker’s Mark
Make the dice come right
He loves to gamble, lose, then laugh
Then walk back out the night
Double Maker’s Mark
Double Maker’s Mark
[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow
He’ll shoot straight and win
Maybe he’ll quit that grin
And keep something in
But tonight he’s spinning
On a stubborn spark
With a pocket full of coins
And a hungry heart
[Final Chorus]
Double Maker’s Mark
That’s his prayer tonight
Romeo at the corner
Looking for a little light
Double Maker’s Mark
Make the dice come right
He loves to gamble, lose, then laugh
Then walk back out the night
Double Maker’s Mark
Double Maker’s Mark
