Lyrics for Whiskey Bottle - Live Acoustic Version

Persuaded, paraded, inebriated and down Still aware of everything life carries on without 'Cause there's one too many faces with dollar sign smiles I got to find the shortest path to the bar for a while A long way from happiness In a three hour away town Whiskey bottle over Jesus Not forever, just for now Not forever, but just for now When there's a trouble around, it's never far away The same trouble's been around for a life and a day Oh, I can't forget the sound, 'cause it's here to stay The sound of people chasin' money and money gettin' away A long way from happiness In a three hour away town Whiskey bottle over Jesus Not forever, just for now Not forever, but just for now Oh in between the dirt, disgust there must be Some air to breathe and something to believe Liquor and guns the sign says quite plain Somehow life goes on in a place so insane A long way from happiness In a three hour away town Whiskey bottle over Jesus Not forever, just for now Not forever, but just for now
