Story Behind The Song
The lyrics of this song are based on this writers humorous and factual memories of the only bottle of Everclear that he ever experienced, up close and personal. It was at an off-campus party, over 50 years ago, in Lubbock, Texas, while attending Texas Tech. It's wicked stuff and is banned in 14 states. Perfect material for a country song. LOL!

Lyrics
EVERCLEAR
One little drink it'll warm you up
One more it's one too much
It looks like water it has no taste
Cross your eyes fall on your face
CHORUS
There's never been no stronger stuff
One-hundred-ninety's proof enough
You better read that label the warning's clear
When you get drunk don't get drunk on EVERCLEAR
It'll melt your cup your plastic spoon
Strike a match it goes boom
When you wake up down on the floor
It'll melt your name off your front door
CHORUS
GUITAR (verse)
CHORUS
She took my house she took my car
She took my job my old guitar
She took my dog I can't remember it's name
Purple Jesus on my brain
CHORUS
Your life will suck when you get drunk on EVERCLEAR
