murder by death

[yaksordrpepper]

there are many choices in this life that we don't get to make
like who's your pa and where you're from
and when the leaves are down it's time to rake
but you can choose your drinking partner and mine ain't from tennessee
yes, it's straight kentucky bourbon for me
oh, it's sweet kentucky bourbon for me

i been down on my luck been down too long this time
i've drank 'em to the bottom til i found myself there too
and the taste of defeat it's never been so sweet
so i poured another glass and failed again and again

so i've been down and i've been higher than sears tower
i asked the higher powers if they would just spare a drink
did they answer my cries? i was a bit preoccupied
so i toasted them and boasted to them that they had met their match

but as long as there is whiskey in the world
we can drink away the heartache we can drink away the girls
we long to love but we never touch
as long as there is whiskey in the world

i have loved and i have lost all that they gave me
they all tried to save me but i'm seeing this thing through
and these feelings of remorse they leave me no recourse
so i pour another glass and fail again and again

but as long as there is whiskey in the world
we can drink away the heartache we can drink away the girls
we long to love but we never touch
as long as there is whiskey in the world

i don't want to be saved
as long as there is whiskey in the world
