Lyrics
I love that one!
Four, three, one, two, three, four
Got a whiskey drinking fever that I cannot shake
And those girls downtown are more than I can take
High-waisted Rockies and the sailor's mouths
And the boys in the back of the bar scream loud
Oh, whiskey river, take me home
And I smell like cologne and cigarettes
But I ain't found a lady or a bar fight yet
I'll wait around just to stir shit up
That whiskey river flowing ain't ever enough
Oh, whiskey river, take me home
'Cause I'm a heavy-drinking, hard-hitting good ol' boy
There ain't a man in this county that can keep me employed
Can't stay sober past 11 a.m.
My breath smells like my regrets again
Oh, whiskey river, take me home
I had a woman in Wisconsin and a woman in Maine
But they told me that they'd never love a man so insane
I head to Oklahoma with the flask and a comb
Do my best to find another place I can roam
Oh, whiskey river, take me home
There was no one in town that would give me a ride
So I waited for my heavy drunkenness to subside
Stole a pick-up truck from a gas station pump
I pray to the Lord for a run of good luck
Oh, whiskey river, take me home
Yeah
And I was 400 miles down Highway 10
All of a sudden, I was arrested again
They told me eight years in the county pen
Or eight years in the army killing evil men
Oh, whiskey river, take me home
Now there's sand in my boots, sand in my eyes
Sand everywhere that sand can hide
How I miss those downtown girls
And that whiskey river that ruined my world
Oh, Uncle Sam, I wanna go home
I had a whiskey drinking fever that I could not shake
And those girls downtown were more than I could take
The high-waisted Rockies and the sailor's mouths
Boys in the back of the bar screaming loud
Oh, whiskey river, take me home
Oh, whiskey river, I wanna go home
That take ripped
That take fucking ripped, dude! I l-
