[Verse]
Smoke thick hanging low in the air
Barstools creak under weight and despair
Devil leans back with a grin wide and cruel
God just smirks sipping slow staying cool
[Prechorus]
One glass pours heaven one glass hell
Who's winning here? Only time can tell
[Chorus]
Whisky and wagers the night runs wild
Two old rivals acting so beguiled
Cards on the table no halo no horn
Who’s got the power since the day we were born?
[Verse 2]
Devil says man’s just a creature of sin
Every shot they take brings me closer to win
God shakes his head with a tired little laugh
Says love cuts deeper than your bitter path
[Prechorus]
One sip burns one sip soothes
Who’s got the truth in these old barroom blues?
[Chorus]
Whisky and wagers the stakes climb high
Truth in the bottle or another sweet lie
Laughing and cursing they battle till dawn
Who’ll take the prize when the night is gone?
