[Verse 1: Lancelot] Oh my loves, raise a glass to those we leave behind We may end up dead, with a bullet in the head But if we’re not returning from this damn fool quest Then tonight let's drown our sorrows down with whiskey Guinevere, you’re my stars; Arthur, you’re my night And I know we’ve got to ride at the dawn's first light And I ain’t saying this preacher man’s crusade ain’t right But first let's fuel a few more sins with whiskey [Verse 2: Arthur] Lancelot, you’re a fool to drink your bottle dry Whiskey kills your fear, and you'll want to keep that near ‘Cause I don’t know what is out there but we need that GRAIL And I love you, but you stink to hell of whiskey Galahad is crazy but you’ve felt that heat And the only explanation comes from his damn seat And with you and Guinevere I know we won’t be beat So we might as well have one more drop of whiskey [Verse 3: Guinevere] Drain your glass, strap your piece, for my loves, we ride Empty miles of steel fall away beneath our wheels As we leave a trail of bodies of the folks we’ve slain And the camps we raid for gasoline and whiskey Maybe it’s the heat or maybe it’s the pain But I can’t shake the feeling we’re not coming back again We’re not pure of heart, but we’re sure of aim And our heads are full of love and blood and whiskey [Gunshots ricocheting and engines revving] [Verse 4: Arthur, Guinevere, & Lancelot] There’s a dream that I've had as we ride out west Of a golden age and this world’s wrongs all redressed But I wake to find there’s nothing here but fear and death And between the two there’s only blood and whiskey Quit your whinging, Arthur, or your wounds won’t heal And the vultures that are circling will get their meal We can mourn our dead later until then don’t feel Just clean the wound with bloody rags and whiskey
