I've been down on my luck Been down too long this time I've drank em to the bottom Til I found myself there too And the taste of defeat Had never been so sweet So I poured another glass Failed again and again I've been down And I've been higher then Sears Tower I asked the higher powers If they could just spare a drink Did they answer my cries? I wish they did theyre 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 Oh we long to love but we never touch As long as there is whiskey in the world I have loved But I've lost all that they gave me They all try to 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 Oh we long to love but we never touch As long as there is whiskey in the world I don't want to be saved 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
