I played bass and that godawful honky-tonk piano properly detuned.

Someone Said Whiskey

When I was younger I laughed all the time.
I didn't care for nuthin', and I was just fine.
But they made me grow up, and I had to pay.
All of the fun stuff was taken away. But then

Someone said whiskey and I heard the call.
They passed me a bottle and I drank it all.
We drank to our troubles till quarter to three.
Someone said whiskey and whiskey called me.

Next day I woke up and swam through my room.
I went to the closet to fetch me a broom.
I cleaned up the worst slipp'ry mess that we made.
I couldn't see much, so I rasied the shade. "Close that!"

Someone said whiskey. We gathered around.
They passed me the bottle, and I drank it down.
We drank to our troubles and set them all free.
Someone said whiskey and whiskey saved me.

[Well, they say with age comes wisdom. I don't know nuthin' about that.
But I DO know that all my drinkin' buddies started dying off.
So I got to thinking, "Maybe I gotta quit this drinkin'."
You know, get on with some easy llivin'.]

Now that I'm older I laugh all the time.
I care less for whiskey cuz ice tea's just fine.

Someone said whiskey. I said what's the point.
They drank from the bottle while I smoked a joint.
We laughed without troubles. The day was complete.
Someone said whiskey but I was asleep –dreaming of my horseshoe, Lucky.
