Lyrics
ABOVE THE WHISKEY
I got in way over my head
Brokenhearted when I dove in
Next thing I knew
I depended on it
It's a little like quicksand
Like dying by my own hand
It just pulled me under
Every time I took a sip
And I'm just trying to get
A deep breath
I keep kicking my feet
Fighting with all I got left
So I don't sink
Down to the level with the devil
Oh lord I need
To keep my head
Above the whiskey
Ain't much to talk about
I punch in and I punch out
Ain't gonna change the world
But its gonna change mine
Yeah, as long as I
Chorus
I could just let myself drown
Whoa, but I can't give up now
I gotta get
Chorus
