The Pubcrawlers - Whiskey Ran The Show lyrics

rate me

It's a bittersweet relationship

The cost he had to pay

The life that he could have lived

Versus the life he gave away

It started many years ago

When he was just a lad

Just a teen trying the make the scene

And not feel so fucking bad

So like any stout young man

He took well to the drink

He didnt care where he was going

Or even stop to think

He roared on though his teenage years

Living hard and fast

With whiskey, girls, parties and friends

One long drunken bash

chorus:

A seductive glance, a dirty kiss

The draw that'll never miss

It's a sweetness that he can't resist

When the bottle hits his lips

It's a curse that will follow him

Wherever that he goes

His life will never be his to live

'Cause whiskey ran the show

Its amazing how much you don't recall

When you walk though life trashed

Drunk as hell and full of good times

But you know it couldn't last

Living hard and living fast

Was bound to take its toll

By the time he was thirty he lost his job

Left out in the cold

All he had left was the girl he loved

She said she'd be true to him

Swearing to him that she'd never leave

She'd be there though thick and thin

That only lasted though another binge

Leaving her quite appalled

She left that bastard on the spot

And wouldn't return his calls

chorus

So he spent those next lonely years

Drunk in dirty bars

Torn by those past afflictions

Life's little scars

He tried to quit, over and over

And put the bottle down

But before the night was over

He'd be buying another round

Years did pass and years he aged

He grew weary and grew old

His only friend was the Devil's whiskey

That gleefully took his soul

His time is short, his life is spent

And there's nothing left to save

The last gift whiskey had for him

Was that of an early grave

chorus
