lyrics

WALTZING ON AIR-A bottle of whiskey a heart full of sorrow and hatred is what brought me here/ I left a man dead on the floor of that bar in the blood and the piss and the beer/ They took me away they said you’re gonna pay they asked me what I’m laughing for/ I said that I’m laughing [cause my true love done left and I killed the man what took that whore/ Now I’ll be waltzing on air/ Waltzing on air/ Trying to choke back the tears/ Waltzing on air darlin’ hope that you’re there/ I haven’t felt this good in years/ The judge looked at me he said how do you plead I told him where he could go/ I’m guilty of many a treacherous deed so man let’s get on with the show/ Either give me the noose or just let me loose but stop wasting everyone’s time/ Before he unraveled he slammed down the gavel said hang him on Friday at nine/ Hell be waltzing on air...Outside of my window the gallows are swaying in front of the laughing full moon/ Tomorrow I’ll dangle as they play the Star Spangle while children play and women swoon/ A preacher will pray for my soul on that day while I’m standing on that old trap door/ But I’ll spit an his Bible and laugh in his face and tell him to pray for you whore/ While I’m waltzing on air...The hour has come guess my story is done it looks like it’s neck stretching time/ I’m heading for Hades to dance with the ladies forever I’ll pay for your crimes/ I hope that you’re crying while I’m up here dying I wish I could bid you farewell/ I’d twist your sweet neck till I heard it go crack and I’d take you with me down to Hell/ We’d be waltzing on air...

In a permanent haze
People think it’s a phase
But my madness is growing…
