Well Whiskey lyrics

I get my whiskey from a well

except on holidays when it's the top shelf

but tonight I don't mind if I spend a little more

'cause you're a tolerant woman and the world is at war

I know you witnessed my decline

you used to push back the darkness like a flood light

but tonight that's a secret like the soul of a whore

but if you want to have fun you'll just have to ignore

now I let my troubles solve themselves

I used to get involved but I'm just no help

but tonight let's pretend that we're just like we were

let me stay 'til the morning I will sleep on the floor

and we can talk in circles no dollar figures

just what is owed or paid

and we can make predictions I know you see the future

and I agree

and we agree

tonight's not happening

when I got dry as a desert I got mean

I was as lonely and empty as a canteen

with no anesthetic you're bound to be sore

but tonight I am drinkin' all peaceful and warm

and just when I got fed up with that grey sky

the sun came out of no where like a bar fight

and it knocked out the wind and it bruised me with light

and I felt grateful for living just like I feel tonight

but I know you feel safer in a group

where you could be anyone or they could be you

but tonight we'll take risks that you can afford

you still have bars on your windows and a hole in your door

we can talk in circles around a dirty mirror

night trickles down our throats

and we can make the timeline to last our whole lives

we don't know

but no one knows

what's further up the road

just wait and see

just wait and see

all in time

all in time
