hemingway's whiskey

hemingway's whiskey

warm and smooth and mean

even when it burns

it'll always finish clean

he didn't like it watered down

he took it straight up and neat

if it was bad enough for him

you know it's bad enough for me

hemingway's whiskey

ah

it's tough out there

a good muse is hard to find

living one word to the next

one line at a time

there's more to life than whiskey

there's more to words than rhyme

sometimes nothing works

sometimes nothing shines

like hemingway's whiskey

sail away

sail away

three sheets to the wind

live hard

die hard

this one's for him

hemingway's whiskey

warm and smooth and mean

even when it burns

it'll always finish clean

he didn't like it watered down

he took it straight up and neat

if it was bad enough for him

you know it's bad enough for me
