Whiskey Song

He lives down by the river
In an ol' run down shack
Spends his life day by day
Just tryin' to back
To when he was a young man
And everything was fine
Gotta keep movin' on
Just to catch up with the times
I seen him layin' on the railroad tracks without a penny to his name
And it seems that lately Lord, things just ain't the same
Not a care in this world nobody else to blame
But you know that whiskey Lord
It just keeps rollin' through his veins

Livin' life all alone
No place to call home
If he's gone tomorrow
Hell, no one would ever know
Said he had a family
Oh before they moved him on
But somehow they all disappeared
Before they called him home

Lord ain't it funny how they can rob a man so blind
Take everything he had, he can barely stay alive
Doin' the best he can before he goes insane
But you know that whiskey Lord
It just keeps rollin' through his veins
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lord ain't it funny how they can rob a man so blind
Take everything he had, he can barely stay alive
Doin' the best he can before he goes insane
But you know that whiskey Lord
It just keeps rollin' through his veins

Man you've got to keep on keepin' on
On and on and on
