POGUES - Streams Of Whiskey lyrics

rate me

Last night as I slept<br>I dreamt I met with behan<br>I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day<br>When questioned on his views<br>On the crux of life's philosophies<br>He had but these few clear and simple words to say<br><br>I am going, I am going<br>Any which way the wind may be blowing<br>I am going, I am going<br>Where streams of whiskey are flowing<br><br>I have cursed, bled and sworn<br>Jumped bail and landed up in jail<br>Life has often tried to stretch me<br>But the rope always was slack<br>And now that I've a pile<br>I'll go down to the chelsea<br>I'll walk in on my feet<br>But I'll leave there on my back<br><br>Because I am going, I am going<br>Any which way the wind may be blowing<br>I am going, I am going<br>Where streams of whiskey are flowing<br><br>Oh the words that he spoke<br>Seemed the wisest of philosophies<br>There's nothing ever gained<br>By a wet thing called a tear<br>When the world is too dark<br>And I need the light inside of me<br>I'll walk into a bar<br>And drink fifteen pints of beer<br><br>Iam going, I am going<br>Any which way the wind may be blowing<br>I am going, I am going<br>Where streams of whiskey are flowing<br><br>I am going, I am going<br>Any which way the wind may be blowing<br>I am going, I am going<br>Where streams of whiskey are flowing<br>Where streams of whiskey are flowing<br>Where streams of whiskey are flowing
