Lyrics

Whiskey Man words and music by John Bilinski c2000

Hangover blues driving you mad
Empty bottle by your head
Sidewalk full of ashes and butts
You haven't shaved or changed your duds
Can?t get a job you got to beg
Can?t get up from your cardboard bed
Jackhammer knocking waking up the dead
The cop is kicking your only good leg
Whiskey man whiskey man peace of mind in a wine stain
Whiskey man whiskey man underneath the street light where you sleep at night

Last night you went out on the street
Some teenage hoods kicked your ass till next week
They took all your dollars ripped off from your pockets
And left you for dead in the middle of traffic
Slugging whiskey with one hand love in a bottle for a broken man
Tastes so good to an empty heart coos your whole future is blown apart
Whiskey man whiskey man peace of mind in a wine stain
Whiskey man whiskey man underneath the street light where you sleep at night

Years ago you were rolling in dough
Fine nice house two cars and two girls
One was your wife the other your friend
The wife got the kids and that was the end
You started drinking and got into fights
You lost your job in the big city lights
Your girlfriend left you when the money went dry
Now you sit on the corner with blood shot eyes
Whiskey man whiskey man peace of mind in a wine stain
Whiskey man whiskey man underneath the street light where you sleep at night

You?ll drink anything if it's got alcohol
Hairspray or sterna don't taste bad at all
Carpet cleaner almost got you killed
But that didn't stop you from drinking it still
Shivering cold on a dirty sidewalk
Sifting through garbage walking the walk
Give me a dollar is all you can say
But when you was up you never gave it away
Whiskey man whiskey man peace of mind in a wine stain
Whiskey man whiskey man underneath the street light where you sleep at night
