| I’ve been down on my luck
|
| Been down too long this time
|
| I drank 'em to the bottom
|
| Till I found myself there too
|
| And the taste of defeat
|
| Has never been so sweet
|
| So I pour another glass
|
| Fail again and again
|
| I’ve been down
|
| And I’ve been higher than Sears Tower
|
| I’ve asked the higher powers
|
| If they would just spare a drink
|
| Did they answer my cries?
|
| I was a bit preoccupied
|
| I toasted them, boasted to them
|
| That they had met their match
|
| But as long as there is whiskey in the world
|
| We can drink away the heartache
|
| We can drink away the girls
|
| Who we long to love, but we’ll never touch
|
| As long as there is whiskey in the world
|
| I have loved
|
| And I’ve lost all that they gave me
|
| They all try and save me
|
| But I’m seeing this thing through
|
| And these feelings of remorse
|
| They leave me no recourse
|
| So I pour another glass
|
| Fail again and again
|
| But as long as there is whiskey in the world
|
| We can drink away the heartache
|
| We can drink away the girls
|
| Who we long to love, but we’ll never touch
|
| As long as there is whiskey in the world
|
| I don’t want to be saved
|
| Ah, ah, ah, ah
|
| As long as there is whiskey in the world
|
| As long as there is whiskey in the world
|
| As long as there is whiskey (as long as there is whiskey)
|
| As long as there is whiskey in the world |
