lyrics

Whiskey Business

It’s two o’clock in the morning bar time is finally here
The bartender is sweeping up the room is finally clear
So I mumble a last, “I love you man,
From the bottom of my heart,
Good luck wih you and your woman,
Because hell is being apart,
You got to stick with her through both thick and thin
Those lonely nights apart are what will do you in.”
He stops sweeping for a half-hearted wave
In the direction of my back
As I head out the door fresh air in my face
A spring in my step as I walk through the black

CH:
Because drunks always talk honest
Drunks will always be true
They’ll pour their heart out in a torrent of love
And expect the same from you

Talking at a late night party now there’s two empty kegs of beer
Politics becomes philosophy as the liquor store draws near
“I don’t judge people before I know them
Treat me with respect and I’ll do the same
Under the skin we all bleed and breathe”
As I struggle to maintain
“It’s all about how you deal with others
Not how many toys you collect in this life”
We stagger our way together
Leaning on ourselves to stay upright
“It’s the man who keeps us down but I know we can unite
It’s the man that keeps us divided, he’s who we gotta fight!”
