We've all been in bars like this.
Medium heat rock and roll with touches of classical, country, and folk.

Whiskey Roll
Words and music by John Morrison - copyright 2004
Had a tall glass of whiskey, I was sitting at the bar
The band was getting hotter, the night was getting on
The girls were looking sexy, the guys were looking tough
The bouncer was a biker, the waiter was pushing stuff
I was a long way from home I knew I really should be going
Guess I must be crazy, should've known I'd had enough
When along comes this lady, had a look that could stun
I took a hit of my whiskey, 'til I saw that it was done
But the waiter was a waiting, he knew I wouldn't run
Cause things were looking brighter now, I might just have some fun
I thought about departing but the party was just be starting
Well I must be crazy, I asked for another one
Chorus She sat down beside me and she looked my way
She asked for a light and smiled that certain way
As I reached for the matches, I stumbled around
She said now don't worry honey, keep your feet on the ground
Cause I'm your angel and I've come here to play
I looked for the waiter he was on his way
He brought me my whiskey, she said she'd have the same
He grinned as he left us he was in on the game
I asked what her name was, she said it was Faith
Well I know I'm crazy, thought it was my lucky day
Lead
Next thing I remember, I was lying in some ditch
My wallet was gone, no sign of that witch
My head was aching, my tongue was real thick
My shirt was torn, man I felt pretty sick
I'd been a real sucker and I started to shout
Well I must be crazy, can there be any doubt
Chorus But she sat down beside me and she looked my way
And she asked for a light and smiled that certain way
As I reached for the matches, I stumbled around
And she said don't worry honey, keep your feet on the ground
Fade Cause I'm your angel and I've come here to play
I looked for the waiter he was on his way
He brought me my whiskey, she said she'd have the same
He grinned as he left us he was in on the game
I asked what her name was, she said it was Faith
Well I know I'm crazy, thought it was my lucky day
