Lyrics
It's been a long battle with the whiskey
But I think I've won this round
I look around and hope to find you near me
But there's no one and you're nowhere to be found
I woke up in the middle of a noon day sun
My soul's grown tired there's not much left of one
Come close, can you feel me breathe?
In the thick of your fog four of five feel shunned
Let's keep it straight together and enjoy the run
I've got a feeling you have yet to really see
Can you feel which way the water flows?
Will you lead me through the darkness?
Will you be my one and only love?
Can you help me see?
Off the ol' back porch where the cold river runs
I find peace in the valley and the circling sun
There's a silent wind in the trees
Fall in step and stroll awhile one by one
Let's get our shit together and we'll have some fun
Electric lights and the women of the night
Can you feel which way the water flows?
Will you lead me through the darkness?
Will you be my one and only love?
Can you help me see?
Can you feel which way the water flows?
Will you lead me through the darkness?
Will you be my one and only love?
Will you lead me through the darkness?
It's been a long battle with the whiskey
But I think I've won this round
I look around and hope to find you near me
But you're nowhere
