Morgan Street by Turnpike Troubadours Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 2012

[Chorus]
Well the movers and shakers on Morgan Street
Passing out booze, tattoos, and scars
Dance to anything to with a good backbeat
Drink up the night, close down the bars
Drink up the night, close down the bars

[Verse 1]
Well, long-haired Josh got an old New Yorker
A bad drinking habit has a real good time
Laughing like a kid comin' 'round the corner
Liquor on his breath, trouble on his mind

[Chorus]
Now the movers and shakers on Morgan Street
Passing out booze, tattoos, and scars
Dance to anything to with a good backbeat
Drink up the night, close down the bars
Drink up the night, close down the bars

[Verse 2]
Now Angie, she's a mess
Tryin' to be an actress
Playin' out a scene from behind the bar
Said she's had enough of it
Gotta to get away from this
Headed for Chicago in a borrowed car
[Chorus]
Well the movers and shakers on Morgan Street
Passing out booze, tattoos, and scars
Dance to anything to with a good backbeat
Drink up the night, close down the bars
Drink up the night, close down the bars

[Verse 3]
Jordan played accordion, dropped out of college
And Cookie was a drummer in a punk rock band
Me, I'm just a wallflower soakin' up knowledge
My heart on my sleeve, and a beer in my hand
My heart on my sleeve, and a beer in my hand

[Chorus]
And the movers and shakers on Morgan Street
Passing out booze, tattoos, and scars
Dance to anything to with a good backbeat
Drink up the night, close down the bars
Drink up the night, close down the bars
