Whiskey

And you take one final swig
The flask it is attached to your hip
and you’ve long ago lost the lid
on the happy ground somewhere amid
the debris of many restless nights
the drink it wont put up a fight.
So tilt your glass and pour another
You could share it with a lover
Or hoard it all for another time
Too rich for beer too poor for wine.
Whiskey
For a price she’s anybody’s friend
She’ll be with you till the bitter end.
She teases your lips and burns your tongue
Coats your stomach and drains your lungs
She just wants a little fun
And you will go wherever she leads
You’d follow her to the ends of the street
The earth ends there cut off at the light
And you stand up straight with all your might
And beg a stranger for a light,
A smoke, a drag, anything, it’s alright.
Whiskey
She’ll love you forever
Whiskey
You’ll be there together
Whiskey,
It’s the end of it all
But whiskey, she wont let you fall.
She’ll break your bones and steal your heart
Rot your gut and taint your art
She wont stop till you fall apart
Cause baby loves you.
Whiskey baby she loves you dearly
So much love you can’t see clearly.
You can’t even stand to live
Cause that dame’s got so much to give.
And all she wants for in return
Is to watch her baby crash and burn
So make her smile and make her laugh
You’re not a man you’re only half
Alive these days anyways
so pound her back with style and grace.
She’s golden, bitter, smooth and strong
The woman you wanted all along.
She’s honest, true, faithful and yours.
And look at how great she pours.
whiskey, in your time of need
whiskey, satisfies your greed
She’s got spunk, she’s got spite
She makes you feel like it’s alright.
She loves you baby, whiskey does.
She loves you baby, yes she does.
She loves you baby, whisky does.
She’ll love you till she’s all you’ve got.
But she loves you baby, and that’s a lot.
