These Words From Me



I bought myself a bottle of whiskey
I bought myself a bottle of gin
And sometimes its hard to tell
When one day starts and the next begins
Last night I didn’t sleep alone
There was a chill on your side of the bed
As it was on somebody else’s shoulder
You were resting your weary head

If somebody said life was easy
Let me tell you how hard it could be
If you won’t believe a word they say
You can believe these words from me

I’m knee deep inside a watering hole
And I’ll be drenched down to the bone
And there’s no clock sitting on the wall
To tell me when its time to get up and go
Everyone here, they all know my name
They see the face and feel the shame
Of the one who may not be wrong
But the one who carries the blame

If somebody said life was easy
Let me tell you how hard it could be
If you won’t believe a word they say
You can believe these words from me

Mama says to find a good girl now
One that won’t break your heart
It’s their sisters that find me
But there’s no fire where there’s no spark
When it gets hot you say I’m green
But dammit if I don’t I feel blue
When a man ain’t nothing but a man
And that’s all he’ll ever be to you

If somebody said life was easy
Let me tell you how hard it could be
If you won’t believe a word they say
You can believe these words from me

And it’s the ones you knew
That used to be the ones you know
And it’s the one’s you hate
Who become the one’s you hate to let go

So It’s an empty bottle of whiskey
It’s an empty bottle of gin
And I’m just waiting for the day
I get to see your smiling face again.

  i can feel the countrifiedness of this piece.
but its not as country in my mind as it could be... are you going to be recording this one too? [and hows all that recordingness going..?]


there was a chill on your side of the bed but i didnt sleep alone... thats quite a tragically beautiful idea.

the sisters of good girls...
mama never did mention those girls did she..?
makes me think of that buses and trains song where the girls like "hey ma... why didnt you warn me... coz about boys is something i should have known... theyre like chocolate cake.. like cigarettes i know theyre bad for me but i cant leave them alone.." or whatever


you sound like the voice of experience in this song... it could be the gin and whisky talking and lending credibility in a country kinda way though...

i hope you get to see the smiling face you long for some day soon... whisky and gin can age a man way too quick...
