Well I was born to be a man, who isn't blind.
And I was raised a man, who doesn't cry.
But it's so hard to do when this gets on your mind.
Man it gets hard to do when you feel color blind.
Whiskey River it's on my mind
Well I keep wasting so much time
I can't keep looking back
Time moves on way too fast
And it won't slow down
But all that matters is now
I lost my job, my home, my love, and my own self worth.
I'm trying to sleep so I can make this life thing work.
But it's so hard to do when this gets on your mind.
The truth is hard to see when tears are in your eyes.
Whiskey River is on my mind
Well I keep wasting so much time
I can't keep looking back
Cause Time moves on way too fast
And it won't slow down
But all that matters is now
Forget about keeping up with the Jones'
When you can't keep hold of yourself
I drown myself in Whiskey River
And now I feel like some body else
So wake me up, Lord
Wash me clean
And lead me home
Cause you know my wandering feet
Are prone to roam
To Whiskey River
And it's on my mind
Well I keep wasting so much time
I can't keep looking back
Time moves on way too fast
And it won't slow down
We only get one go round
But all that matters is now
