lyrics

I don't believe in heaven, no, and if I did, well I'd probably choose hell
Every night out drinking my poison, from the bottom of my own whiskey well
I load my weapons with well-aged spirits, hide them deep in my jacket and in my boots
Well, whiskey's the only water that I need, all I need for this tree to grow roots

So give me a blended Scotch or just an Irish whiskey
A pack of smokes and that chance to get frisky
Yeah, you get sloppy drunk, I stay whiskey neat
Yeah, you get sloppy drunk, I stay whiskey neat

I don't need no Jack of Diamonds, or that slippery Queen of Hearts,
Just fill my dirty glass with some muddy water, and don't you dare put a drop on the rocks.
I try to keep myself to myself, swimming deep in my vat of solitude
Yeah, well, whiskey's the only water that I need, all I need for this tree to take root

I let this demon inside my mind,
I told him he, he could stay for the night.
But now I'm broken and bruised, I'm that filthy drunken fool,
I don't know what's left or if I'm alright.
No, I don't know what's left or if I'm alright.
