I been down on my luck |
|
Been down too long this time |
|
I drank up to the bottom |
|
Til I found myself there too |
|
And the taste of defeat |
|
Has never been so sweet |
|
So I pour another glass |
|
And fail again and again |
|
I been down |
|
And I been higher than Sears Tower |
|
I asked the higher powers |
|
If they could just spare a drink |
|
Did they answer my cries |
|
I was a bit preoccupied |
|
I toasted them and boasted to them |
|
The day they met their match |
|
But as long as there is whiskey in the world |
|
We can drink away the harvest |
|
We can drink away the girls |
|
We'll fall in love with an amber touch |
|
As long as there is whiskey in the world |
|
I have loved |
|
And I've lost all they gave me |
|
They all try and save me |
|
But I'm seein' this thing through |
|
And these feelings of remorse |
|
Have left me no recourse |
|
So I pour another glass |
|
And fail again and again |
|
But as long as there is whiskey in the world |
|
We can drink away the harvest |
|
We can drink away the girls |
|
We'll fall in love with an amber touch |
|
As long as there is whiskey in the world |
|
I don't want to be saved |
|
As long as there is whiskey in the world |
|
As long as there is whiskey in the world |
|
As long as there is whiskey |
|
As long as there is whiskey |
|
As long as there is whiskey in the world |
