Whiskey Fever

I love that one Four, three, one, two, three, four Got a whiskey-drinkin' fever that I cannot shake And those girls downtown are more than I can take High-waisted rockies and the sailor's mouths And the boys in the back of the bar screamin' loud Oh, whiskey river, take me home And I smell like cologne and cigarettes But I ain't found a lady or a bar fight yet I'll wait around just to stir shit up That whiskey river flowin' ain't ever enough Oh, whiskey river, take me home 'Cause I'm a heavy drinkin', hard hittin' good ol' boy There ain't a man in this county that can keep me employed Can't stay sober past 11 AM My breath smells like my regrets again Oh, whiskey river, take me home I had a woman in Wisconsin and a woman in Maine But they told me that they'd never love a man so insane I head to Oklahoma with the flask and a comb Do my best to find another place I can roam Oh, whiskey river, take me home There was no one in town that would give me a ride So I waited for my heavy drunkenness to subside Stole a pick-up truck from a gas station pump I pray to the Lord for a run of good luck Oh, whiskey river, take me home Yeah And I was four hundred miles down Highway 10 All of a sudden I was arrested again They told me eight years in the county pen Or eight years in the army killing evil men Oh, whiskey river, take me home Now there's sand in my boots, sand in my eyes Sand everywhere that sand can hide How I miss those downtown girls And that whiskey river that ruined my world Oh, Uncle Sam, I wanna go home I had a whiskey-drinkin' fever that I could not shake And those girls downtown were more than I could take Their high-waisted rockies and the sailor's mouth Boys in the back of the bar screamin' loud Oh, whiskey river, take me home Oh, whiskey river, I wanna go home (That take ripped) (That take fuckin' ripped, dude) --- Whiskey Fever - Zach Bryan
