Lyrics
'I Need My Whiskey' © November 2009 Lyrics, composition and Music by: Gene DeAmicis
Verse-1
Some call me a blues man.. some call me a drunk,
I got so many problems.. my life's a piece of junk
So early in the evening.. not to very far,
Just around the corner is my favorite local bar,
There you're gonna find me.. sittin on my ass,
One hand round a bottle... the other on a glass
Chorus-1
I need my whiskey.... it helps me make it through the night,
Yeah I need my whiskey.... it helps me make it through the night,
These blues they really hurt me, but my whiskey makes it right...
Verse-2
You see, I had me a good job... and then they let me go,
Lost my-house my-car my-money, my wife said .. hit the road,
Every day I try to change it, but then it all gets worse,
I think I understand it... my life is just a curse
So early in the evening.. I don't go very far,
Where my blues killer's waitin, sitting on the bar...
Chorus-2
I need my whiskey.... it helps me make it through the night,
Yeah I need my whiskey.... it helps me make it through the night
These blues they really hurt me, but my whiskey makes it right...
