From the recording Chase The Moonlight
Lyrics
You won't find me in a chair at home
That look in your eye, your mouth a foam
Stepped on my heart, you blackened my eye
I take you with moonshine, whiskey and rye
Step into my boots and I head to the door
Gonna live a few hours 'fore I die a few more
When loving you feels like livin' in a war
I don the hat from the liquor store
Tried to understand the reason we fought
And though logic was with me reality was not
What can I do? What can I confess?
To get you out of that storm-colored dress
Only hit me ‘cause you love me once I understood how
Whiskey only hits tomorrow but it's loving me right now
Don't want to drink at Cheers where they know my name
I wear my Liquor Store Fedora to hide my shame
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
If water into wine is miraculous divine
Then whiskey must be sacred and I'm prayin' drinkin' mine
With my heart on my sleeve, hat covering my eye
At the bottom of the bottle is a savior I can buy
Keep this up and I'll leave someday
But now the liquor store's selling a bottled getaway
Dance past the beer to the whisky buffet
Though I waltz with wine, tonight's a bourbon ballet
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
