Got a whiskey drinkin’ fever that I cannot shake
And those girls downtown were more than I could take
High waisted rockies and the sailor’s mouse
And the boys in the back got the boss screamin’ loud
Oh whiskey river take me home
And I smell like cologne and cigarettes
But I ain’t found a lady or a bar fight yet
I’ll wait around just to search it up
That whiskey river flowin’ ain’t never enough
Oh whiskey river take me home
Cause I’m a heavy drinkin’ hard
Hittin’ good all the way
Raid the man in his county just to keep him away
Can’t stay sober past 11AM
My breath smells like my regrets again
Oh whiskey river take me home
I had a woman in Wisconsin and a woman in Maine
But they told me that they never loved a man so insane
I head to Oklahoma with a flask in a comb
Do my best to find another place I could own
Oh whiskey river take me home
It was no one in town that would get me a ride
So I waited for my heavy drunkin’ mix this attire
Stole a pickup truck from a gas station park
I pray to the Lord for all the goodluck
Oh whiskey river take me home
Instrumental
And I was forty miles down highway ten
All of a sudden I was arrested again
It’s only eight years in the county pin
Or eight years in the army killin’ evil men
Oh whiskey river take me home
Now the sand in my boots, sand in my eyes
Sand everywhere the shankin’ high
How I miss those downtown girls
And that whiskey river that ruined my world
Oh all the same I don’t wanna go home
I had a whiskey drinkin’ fever that I could not shake
And those girls downtown were more than I could take
The high waisted rockies and the sailor’s mouse
And the boys in the back got the boss screamin’ loud
Oh whiskey river take me home
Oh whiskey river I don’t wanna go home
