lyrics

Everybody’s got their degrees
Everybody’s down on their knees
Me, that’s not what I am about
I don’t need no academic words in my mouth
There’s enough shit to handle
When both ends of the candle
Are burning like the sandal of the man who preached the gospel of love
Lord above

Well, we’ve got a little bit of whiskey
Listening to Keith Whitley
Love the way it hits me
Like a double shot at last call

Everybody’s on my case
Everybody stays in their place
I’d buy the beer if I had the dough
America the beautiful, where do we go?
When it’s crime and corruption
What a fine introduction
With the childlike destruction
It’s the opposite of living the dream
One you’ve never seen

Well, we’ve got a little bit of whiskey
Listening to Keith Whitley
Love the way it hits me
Like a 1943 movie scene

Everybody worships a screen
Myself included you see
Hey, buddy, look me in the eye
Good God almighty I forgot I’m gonna die
Down go the turtles
Listening to Sturgill
Overcome the hurdles
With a third-person view of my brain
Oh, it’s insane


Well, we’ve got a little bit of whiskey
Listening to Keith Whitley
Love the way it hits me baby
I’m no stranger to the rain

Well, we’ve got a little bit of whiskey
Listening to Keith Whitley
Love the way it hits me baby
I’m no stranger to the rain
