| Old Jimmy he liked whiskey, for whippin' the old TB
|
| Hank Williams lived by the bottle, right to the end by gee!
|
| I too might die from alcohol but I won’t be the first,
|
| County Music singers are just born with an endless thirst.
|
| There’s one more name I’ll mention, his name is Mr Hall
|
| He loves his beer and bourbon, oh I’d say he’s tried em all
|
| And some I’m afraid have gone onto the other stuff that’s worse
|
| I’ll do no harm if I bend my arm to ease my endless thirst
|
| So many of our brothers, in early life did lose,
|
| We’re either way up in the clouds or down deep in the blues,
|
| It’s a way life we’re born to, so for better or for worse
|
| Country music singers are just born with an endless thirst,
|
| When I left my home away up north many long years ago
|
| Our songs were played at 4 am and country radio
|
| Oh they called us hicks and hillbillies and sometimes even worse
|
| Twas enough to drive a man to drink, excuse my endless thirst
|
| So from cowboy songs to country songs it’s been a long hard grind
|
| We were looked upon with such disdain back in the good old times
|
| And as old G. P and few like me couldn’t give tinkers curse
|
| We’ve done it all our way anyway, lived with our endless thirst
|
| So many of our brothers, in early life did lose,
|
| We’re either way up in the clouds or down deep in the blues,
|
| It’s a way life we’re born to, so for better or for worse
|
| Country music singers are just born with an endless thirst,
|
| Those smart bandwagon hoppers wouldn’t spit on the country scene
|
| When we were in the doldrums, now they’re bursting at the seams.
|
| Oh they prance around like peacocks in city clubs and halls,
|
| But fancy boots and hats don’t make a fine star after all
|
| So I’ll just stick to my old bush songs, the ones that I enjoy,
|
| Oh you’ll understand my stories I’m not makin' too much noise
|
| And if I should die from alcohol then I won’t be the first,
|
| 'Cos country music singers are born with an endless thirst
|
| So many of our brothers, in early life did lose,
|
| We’re either way up in the clouds or down deep in the blues,
|
| It’s a way life we’re born to, so for better or for worse
|
| Country music singers are just born with an endless thirst, hey
|
| Country music singers are just born with an endless thirst,
|
| Born with an endless thirst, hey |
