Lyrics



It?s not a question of what I want
It?s a question of what I need
And right now I think I needa drink
But I could be wrong
I could be wrong

?Cuz I?m not a good drinker
I get in a funk
While other?s get happy
I?m a crappy drunk

I?m seein? the truth
It cuts like a knife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just my life, oh yeah ?

NOT THE LIQUOR
No, it?s not the liquor ?
Only makes me stupid quicker.

I see the truth and it cuts like a knife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just -
Just my life.

Well, I use ta just function in a fog
Think I was really livin? (livin?)
Take any shit that came my way
Just take it, baby
(Take it, baby!)

And I?m no great thinker
I get in a state
I don?t have no patience
I just can?t wait

I need me a partner
I need a good wife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just my life ? oh, yeah


NOT THE LIQUOR
No, it?s not the liquor ?
Only makes me stupid quicker.

I see the truth and it cuts like a knife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just -
Just my life.

AND IT?S NOT a question of what I want
It?s a question of what I need
And right now I think I needa drink
But I could be wrong
I could be wrong

?Cuz I?m not a good drinker
I get in a funk
While other?s get happy
I?m a crappy drunk

I?m seein? the truth
It cuts like a knife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just my life, oh yeah ?

NOT THE LIQUOR
No, it?s not the liquor ?
Only makes me stupid quicker.

I see the truth and it cuts like a knife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just -
Just my life.




Band sounds like they play a lot of bars and parties. Very clever hook and lyrics. The jam starts at 2 minutes and it's definitely a controlled mayhem. Song reminds me of a lot of songs, one being "One Scotch, One Bourbon and One Beer". Some really good live tracks here Broadjam!! The drummer is on it, the female singer is really good!! I love this song on the second listen. I love the last verse!! hahaha

Wow, the energy....... love the voice
