Mysterion Mixtapes: Old Fashioned Man

Old Fashioned Man

Verse 1

I don’t need fancy, I don’t need flash

No umbrellas floating in fruity mash

Just a sturdy glass and a patient hand

‘Cause I’m an old fashioned man

Sugar cube sitting like a little white throne

Three drops of bitters, then leave it alone

Muddle it slow ‘til the magic expands

Yeah, I’m an old fashioned man

Chorus

Give me bourbon, give me time

Give me orange peel and ice that shines

I don’t rush what I don’t understand

‘Cause I’m an old fashioned man

(oh yes I am)

I’m an old fashioned man

Verse 2

While you’re shaking mojitos and blending up noise

I’m watching the ritual, savoring poise

The bartender stirs with a master plan

‘Cause I’m an old fashioned man

When the glass is empty and the ice goes clink

I’ll tip my hat and I’ll stop and think

“Bartender ... let’s run that back again”

‘Cause I’m an old fashioned man

Chorus

Give me bourbon, give me time

Give me orange peel and ice that shines

I don’t rush what I don’t understand

‘Cause I’m an old fashioned man

(take your time now)

I’m an old fashioned man

Bridge

And when the glass is nearly gone, just ice and memories,

There sits that bourbon-soaked cherry waiting there for me,

Final Chorus

Give me bourbon, give me time

Give me ritual, give me rhyme

Give me something I can understand

‘Cause I’m an old fashioned man

(through and through)

I’m an old fashioned man

(yes it’s true)

I’m an old fashioned man

Devil Juice

Verse 1

Poured in the glass, looks smooth and sweet,

Promises comfort, knocks me off my feet.

Calls itself an elixir, cure for the blues,

But it’s poison dressed up as something to use.

Pre-Chorus

I know the taste, I know the cost,

Every sip is a soul that’s lost.

Chorus

Devil Juice, it drags me down,

Steals my soul, makes me drown.

Don’t touch the Devil’s drink, don’t fall for the lie.

Choose Living Water , and you’ll never run dry.

Verse 2

I’ve seen the mornings, the shame, the pain,

Same old cycle, the devil’s chain.

But chains can break when truth’s in sight,

Open the Word, hold on tight.

Pre-Chorus

I know the taste, I know the cost,

Every sip is a soul that’s lost.

Chorus

Devil Juice, it drags me down,

Steals my soul, makes me drown.

Don’t touch the Devil’s drink, don’t fall for the lie.

Choose Living Water, and you’ll never run dry.

Bridge

Call on His name when the bottle calls,

Strength will rise, those walls will fall.

You don’t need poison to feel alive,

With prayer and grace, you can survive.

Final Chorus

Devil Juice, it drags me down,

Steals my soul, makes me drown.

Don’t touch the Devil’s drink, don’t fall for the lie.

Choose Living Water, and you’ll never run dry.
