Whiskey Bottle

I'm sitting here in Memphis
Whisky bottle in my hand, oh
I've got to find a woman
I'm only on a one-night stand

I've got to kick away these blues
Got to get on my Rock and Roll shoes
I'm leaving in the morning
I'm heading for the promised land

Tried to call a number
A certain lady in town, yeah
But when I got connected
She told me she was going to settle down, oh baby, yeah

I've got to kick away these blues
Got to get on my Rock and Roll shoes
I'm leaving in the morning
I'm heading for the promised land
Oh baby, look out over there

Ever since I've been playing guitar in a band
Every place I've been to seem to be the same
Every time I tried to play my winning hand
I get a little closer but it's still the same old game

I get a little closer to you, baby
Seem like you're all the same
I get a little closer to you
Still the same old game
Come on, baby, I wanna take you with me

I've got to leave the city
I'm headed for the California sun, oh yeah, yeah yeah
They say the girls are pretty
And pretty soon, I'm going to get me one, yeah yeah yeah

I've got to kick away these blues
Got to get on my Rock and Roll shoes
I'm leaving in the morning
I'm heading for the promised land, Lord knows I am

Ever since I've been playing guitar in a band
Every place I've been to seem to be the same
Every time I tried to play my winning hand
I get a little closer but it's still the same old game

Ever since I've been playing guitar in a band
Every place I've been to seem to be the same
Every time I tried to play my winning hand
I get a little closer but it's still just the same old game
