as long as there is whiskey in the world

ive been down on my luck

been down too long this time

ive 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 ive 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 dont 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
