Lyrics

[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)
