Lady Whiskey - The Porters

We pick up in New YorkExplain City Try to find a man I never got to be But when I push down on the pavement I found the whole thing so much harder than it seemed The only deal I ever signed No devil drew a dotted line The stage was set, the words were mine I'm not complainin' Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Wake up, shake it off, and repeat It's just a phase, it's not forever It's just a phase, but I still might have a ways to go Every night around this time My friends and I retreated like a race When I really start to break it down I wouldn't trust a girl who knew about this place Barkin' on with no one left Speak softly underneath my breath "Hey world, you ain't seen nothin' left" Great, now it's rainin' Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Wake up, shake it off, and repeat It's just a phase, it's not forever It's just a phase, but I still might have a ways to go Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Dream somebody missed me Wake up, shake it off, and repeat And repeat and repeat after me Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Cut me off and pour me in the street Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Water, water, water sleep

There's a place I can't go back to anymore My life is different now that's for sure You took all my sun away And now the sky is turning grey It's a whole new world since you walked out the door It's been raining whiskey, pour a beer There's a thundering jukebox in my ear I feel a great depression coming on It's been raining whiskey since you've been gone Now the mirror shows just what a fool I am Cause behind the bottle sits a sad and lonely man There's a chance that he might drown In all the heartache that's coming down It sure ain't turning out the way he planned It's been raining whiskey, pour a beer There's a thundering jukebox in my ear I feel a great depression coming on It's been raining whiskey since you've been gone If I had a chance with you One more time (One more time) I'd be sheltered in your arms Wrapped up in the sunshine It's been raining whiskey, pour a beer There's a thundering jukebox in my ear I feel a great depression coming on It's been raining whiskey since you've been gone (Since you've been gone) It's been raining whiskey since you've been gone Raining whiskey since you've been gone

Deep in your heart there was once a diamond shining bright Every dark place you passed by turned into light But somebody broke into your heart and blew out your lights And your sparkling little diamond turned pale overnight What the hell has become of that pretty girl so sweet and nice Where have remaind your insatiable thirst after life Girl what ever they have done to you, where ever you are No ever so big force on earth could kill a burning heart Shine on, shine on Don't let the bastards drag you down Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm Shine on and on, and keep the fire burning Shine on, shine on, shine on Your train ran off the rails, hey girl you didn't lay the tracks If you wanna reach for the sky you have to go through hell and back Don't deliver girl, let me take you by the hand At the end of the rainbow the way of cross still ends Shine on, shine on Don't let the bastards drag you down Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm Shine on and on, and keep the fire burning Shine on, shine on, shine on Shine on, shine on, shine on Shine on, shine on, shine on Shine on, shine on, shine on Shine on, shine on, shine on Don't let the bastards drag you down Shine on, shine on Don't let the bastards drag you down Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm Shine on and on, and keep the fire burning Shine on, shine on, shine on Shine on, shine on, shine on Don't let the bastards drag you down

I still remember the day, you were standing on the Kay, With tears in your eyes, as the sirens yelled. It was time to go aboard, fair-the-well to you my love. One last look in your sad eyes, and one last kiss. For the miles, that's called the ocean, for the miles, between you and me, Walk all the miles, trying to kill me, walk all the miles, over the sea, Every sailor hear has a leak in his heart, but no one has a leak as big as mine. They dream of their love, of their loved sweet heart, Of the little girl on the harbor of their homes. Of their homes Too many years have passed by, too much time upon the see. All the memories of you signing to decrees. The taste of your lips, and the smell of your hair, The longing in your voice as you said "goodbye". For the miles, that's called the ocean, for the miles, between you and me, Walk all the miles, trying to kill me, walk all the miles, over the sea, Every sailor hear has a leak in his heart, but no one has a leak as big as mine. They dream of their love, of their loved sweet heart, Of the little girl on the harbor of their homes. Of their homes When I'm sitting here alone, with the whistle in my hand, I hope the wind will blow this song across to you. And one fine day I will return, to the harbor of my home, You'll hear the sirens yell, you'll know that it's me coming home. For the miles, that's called the ocean, for the miles, between you and me, Walk all the miles, trying to kill me, walk all the miles, over the sea, Every sailor hear has a leak in his heart, but no one has a leak as big as mine. They dream of their love, of their loved sweet heart, Of the little girl on the harbor of their homes. Of their homes
