"Whiskey"

(Jerry Vann)

You always made me fly
Far above the world so high
Your pleasures led me on until
My mind was not my own.

I found you in the night
In secret places out of sight
I knew it was so wrong but I
Was weak and you were strong.

I think you let me fly
Just so you could see me fall
You took my friends you took me too
Whiskey, I gave it all to you.

--- Instrumental ---

Mind and body heart and soul
Slowly fell to your control
And I watched you spread your wings
And sail away with all my dreams.

I think you left me fly
Just so you could see me fall
You took my friends you took me too
Whiskey, I gave it all to you...
