It’s been long ass day and my mind is fried, and I just want to forget.
So I make my way to the couch and I sit on down, with my bottle, and cigarettes.
Then my baby came by and she asked me why I was lying around…
She took my whiskey away
Those sweet mellow streams that married my dreams their always there for me, and now the answer at last to forget my past comes in the form of a glass.
After the world comes down me my whiskey just lets me be so please, don’t take my whiskey away
Sitting on the shoulders of giants and smoojing the clients makes me feel like a whore
Making mountains of molehills and taking too many pills that I don’t need to take any more
I’m feeling mighty tender because I’ve been on a bender so please, don’t take my whiskey away
