Story Behind The Song
Lyrics:
Whiskey In The Bottle
Oh yeah whiskey in the bottle
Oh yeah going out tonight
Oh no forget about tomorrow
Whiskey in the bottle got you feeling alright
headed downtown to the underground
it's the place to go
got some twenty dollar bills in your left hand pocket
yeah you're ready to roll
never minded working hard
just wanna be left alone
all week long it's been building up this feeling
finally you're ready to blow.
Oh yeah whiskey in the bottle
Oh yeah going out tonight
Oh no forget about tomorrow
Whiskey in the bottle got you feeling alright
throw your hands up let your guard down
no looking down below
suit up your armor to the tune of nirvana
like your going/selling door to door
(you're) thinking outside the law
feeling like a rolling stone.
ain't nobody gonna see you in the morning
no one gonna drive you home
got the devil on your shoulder
can't find no four leaf clover
popping off like a rocket
nothing gonna stop it
Oh yeah whiskey in the bottle
Oh yeah going out tonight
Oh no forget about tomorrow
Whiskey in the bottle got you feeling alright
