Buddy Jewell - The Whiskey And The Wind lyrics

rate me

She´s got a picture of him as a drifter

she knows all about his outlaw past

he couldn´t see that, gave up his freedom

she didn´t even have to ask.

as far as she knows, he´s over all of that

but she doesn´t know how close he´s come to going back

Cause the whiskey and the wind

are stronger than they´ve ever been

and not to now the two best friends he´s ever known

they keep whispering to him

he don´t need her when he´s got them

so he prays to God that they don´t prove him wrong again

or he´ll be gone again with the whiskey and the wind

Stuck in Chicago, three feet of fresh snow

but he´s got a company creditcard

the end of a long day, he eats in a cafe

across the lobby from the hotelbar

and the devil on his shoulder

reminds him he´s alone

as he walks passed the bar,

to his room to call back home

Cause the whiskey and the wind

are stronger than they´ve ever been

and not to now the two best friends he´s ever known

they keep whispering to him

he don´t need her when he´s got them

so he prays to God that they don´t prove him wrong again

or he´ll be gone again with the whiskey and the wind

oooh the whiskey and the wind

the whiskey and the wind
