Well Whiskey

I get my whiskey from a well

Except on holidays, then it's the top shelf.

But tonight I don't mind if I spend a little more

'Cause you're a tolerant woman and the world is at war

I know you witnessed my decline

You used to push back the darkness like a floodlight

But tonight that's a secret, like the soul of a whore

That if you want to have fun you just have to ignore

Now I let my troubles solve themselves

I used to get involved, but I'm just no help

But tonight let's pretend that we're just like we were

Let me stay until the morning, I'll sleep on the floor

And we can talk in circles, no dollar figures

Just what is owed or paid

We can make predictions, I know you see the future

And I agree and we agreed, tonight?s not happening

When I got dry as a desert, I got mean

I was as lonely and empty as a canteen

With no anesthetic you are bound to be sore

But tonight I'm drinking all peaceful and warm

And just when I got fed up with that gray sky

The sun came out of nowhere like a bar fight

And it knocked out the wind and it bruised me with light

And I felt grateful for living just like I feel tonight

But I know you feel safer in a group

Where you could be anyone or they could be you

But tonight we'll take risks that you can afford

You still have bars on your windows and a hole in your door

We can talk in circles around a dirty mirror

Night trickles down our throats

And we could make a time line to last our whole lives

We don't know but no one knows what's further up the road

Just wait and see

Just wait and see

All in time

All in time
