whiskey basin blues

on a snow covered night up in eastern wyoming

another lazy day

looking for the sun. in a drafty old cabin

outside of whiskey basin

another shining light and a good man on the run. there's a lady back in laramie and a reason no one else can see

for him to spend the winter on his own. nothing much to do tomorrow

just a matter of survival. another friendly fight in a life chock full of fun. it's a special kind of medicine

all that you can do is win. and though the taste is sweet

you can refuse. put your heart on the table

fill your cup with moonshine. another empty case of the whiskey basin blues.
