He 86'd the proof, love was ever going to find him
He put all that good love behind him
The bottle on the table cast a long and slender shadow
Each ghost that beckons, he's gonna follow
In his bone-dry heart where truth be told
Memories pouring down now out of control
Each drop of misery, he needs to taste them all
Maybe the sadness'll drown deep down in his whiskey soul
He gave up all his wanting so he could sleep without dreaming
He gave up tomorrow when it lost its meaning
There was a single moment, he could have changed what he was doing
Now he's lost in a world with no more choosing
In his bone-dry heart where truth be told
Memories pouring down now out of control
Each drop of misery, he needs to taste them all
Maybe the sadness'll drown deep down in his whiskey soul
In his whiskey soul
Each thought walks across a high wire without the netting
The devil inside the bottle knows there's no forgetting
In his bone-dry heart where truth be told
Memories pouring down now out of control
Each drop of misery, he needs to taste them all
Maybe the sadness'll drown deep down in his whiskey soul
In his whiskey soul
