Whiskey And Water

Uncle Kracker · Double Wide [2000]

You put some whiskey in the water

Gonna run off with your daughter

And if I make it to the border

I'm gonna be alright

You put some whiskey in the water

Gonna run off with your daughter

And if I make it to the border

I'm gonna be alright



I'm on the run, the devil's tryin to get me

Says I met him at a pawn shop down in Mississippi

I was an angel lookin for another face

I must a bumped my fuckin head when I fell from grace

I found a place in the sun like Stevie

And now I gotta wonder cause the rain don't believe me

I need to breathe, take the money and run

I put my faith in one place and now I'm fuckin done



You put some whiskey in the water

Gonna run off with your daughter

And if I make it to the border

I'm gonna be alright

You put some whiskey in the water

Gonna run off with your daughter

And if I make it to the border

I'm gonna be alright



I could a been a saint, but I choose the wrong path

I ain't no dummy, take the money and laugh, Uh

I got the cash, did the dash for the door

Now I'm sittin on my stash and I'm feelin like a whore

I'm torn, but can't think, I blink so I miss

I move in strange ways, I move to dismiss

I'll leave this place and when I do that's it

I don't need to conclude so you can keep that shit



You put some whiskey in the water

Gonna run off with your daughter

And if I make it to the border

I'm gonna be alright

You put some whiskey in the water

Gonna run off with your daughter

And if I make it to the border

I'm gonna be alright



Uh, I'm headin south an Old Whiskey Road

Livin life like a story that doesn't need to be told

It's gettin old, always runnin from the past

I'm lookin at myself in the bottom of a glass

I won't last, my lights too dim, h

I seen the future and it's lookin pretty grim, Uh

I'm gonna win, but not like that

So I'm takin what I got and I ain't never comin back



You put some whiskey in the water

Gonna run off with your daughter

And if I make it to the border

I'm gonna be alright

You put some whiskey in the water

Gonna run off with your daughter

And if I make it to the border

I'm gonna be alright

You put some whiskey in the water

Gonna run off with your daughter

And if I make it to the border

I'm gonna be alright

You put some whiskey in the water

Gonna run off with your daughter

And if I make it to the border

I'm gonna be alright
