Whiskey Fever
[Intro]
I love that one
Four, three, one, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Got a whiskey-drinkin' 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
[Refrain]
Oh, whiskey river take me home
[Verse 2]
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 flowin' ain't ever enough
[Refrain]
Oh, whiskey river take me home
[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm a heavy-drinkin', hard-hittin' good ol' boy
There ain't a man in this county that can keep me employed
Can't stay sober past 11 AM
My breath smells like my regrets again
[Refrain]
Oh, whiskey river take me home
[Verse 4]
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
[Refrain]
Oh, whiskey river take me home
[Verse 5]
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
[Refrain]
Oh, whiskey river take me home
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
Yeah
[Verse 6]
And I was four hundred 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 killin' evil men
[Refrain]
Oh, whiskey river take me home
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 1]
I had a whiskey-drinkin' 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 screamin' loud
[Outro]
Oh, whiskey river take me home
Oh, whiskey river I wanna go home
(That take ripped)
(That take fuckin' ripped, dude)
