Lyrics

What the Whiskey Done


I crossed the border down by the Rio Grande
Got in hot water before I hit dry land
Those federales got more than they had planned
When Lady Luck done played her final hand

I took the last train as far as it would go
Got off in Tucson and joined the rodeo
I?m just a stranger to everyone I know
And what I never water, never grows

How?d I ever find myself behind that smoking gun
I can?t be responsible for what that whiskey done

Found a cantina and got myself a drink
I needed solitude, a little time to think
And then I saw you, you walked right up to me
There ain?t no company like misery

We started dancing, I held your hand in mine
You looked delightful and I was feeling fine
And then it happened, I took one step too far
And now there?s only me and my guitar

All I ever wanted was to have a little fun
I can?t be responsible for what that whiskey done

I?m all alone now, as far as I can see
Nobody loves me, I don?t love nobody
I?m gonna miss you and all those things you say
Just one more shot and I?ll be on my way

Ain?t no use in crying, the ending has begun
I can?t be responsible for what that whisky done
