Back to Whiskey River

about

from the album Drinking Songs for Sober Drunks

lyrics

It was a river of whiskey
That brought me to your prison
Let whiskey river take me home

I was a drunk, I hit stone bottom
I killed a man in a bar fight
There was a riot n my cell block
I was running to save my life
I didnt mean to kill that gaurd
He had me in a strangle hold
It was him or me I told myself
So I wrote my own parole

It was a river of whiskey
That brought me to your prison
Let whiskey river take me home

Now its time to meet the hangman
Its time to pay the price
I came in darkness to the world
Because of me, two men have died
Before you put me in the ground
Let me have another round
Let me go back to whiskey river
One last time before I die

Let me go back to whiskey river
Where my lonesome memories flow
Let m go back to whskey river
Where I can face my death alone
