Whiskey Song

You know that there’s a line you walk sometimes
‘tween the future and the Jack
Sometimes you stagger so far, baby
That there ain’t no coming back
I’ve been tryin’ so hard, sugar
Just to keep my thoughts on you
But the devil reels me in and now
I cannot construe, now sister

I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby
Runnin’ through my head
I’ve been thinking risky, baby
Like the living dead
I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby
It’s got me seeing red
I’ve been drunk,
I’ve been drunk
Since I don’t know when

You’re saying that you’ve got the answers, baby
You can take away these blues
I’ve been running around this town
But the truth I can’t subdue
You can break the bottle, baby
You can go on the attack
But I need the sweet, sweet sugar that
Keeps me coming back, now sister

I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby
Runnin’ through my head
I’ve been thinking risky, baby
Like the living dead
I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby
It’s got me seeing red
I’ve been drunk, I’ve been drunk
Since I don’t know when

On my way – to discover
Held in sway – like a lover
All my life - I’ve been blinded
Like a knife – I’m reminded
I can’t bind it
Lost behind it
It’s got a spell on me
