I know what you're thinking I know I did you wrong But I just got this feeling Baby please hold on The way we used to dance We forgot the steps We both lost our balance Now I drink to forget Whiskey and wine Killing me shot at a time You pour the liquor in the cup and then you swirl it around Cause, you don't remember if you're up or you're down (up or you're down) A temporary fix Or moment's elixir Yeah and I will say I put my hand up in the air and I won't do it again, naw (put my hand) Can't promise it because I don't pretend to know (to know what) What the price I pay Yeah yeah Not a remedy for a thing and I will do it again, naw Whiskey and wine Killing me shot at a time Whiskey and wine Killing me shot at a time

Once upon a time our world was on fire And I loved to watch it burn Wild and reckless, never any limits Guess I had a lot to learn 'Cause fire turns to ember, embers to ashes that blow away too soon Now everything's after you is like Having wine after whiskey It went from do anything for you, babe To you don't even miss me Once you've tasted a love that strong you can't go back And you can't settle on anything less And that's what gets me It's like having wine after whiskey Looking back I guess it was really for the best Still you're something that I crave Even though I know it was right to let you go You're a habit hard to break I got used to being high and nothing that I try seems good enough right now It's all so watered down Like having wine after whiskey It went from do anything for you, babe To you don't even miss me Once you've tasted a love that strong You can't go back and you can't settle on anything less And that's what gets me It's like having wine after whiskey Once you've tasted a love that strong you can't go back And you can't settle on anything less And that's what gets me It's like having wine It's like having wine After whiskey

I'm feeling lonely Got you on my mind I swear I'll quit drinking this time But it's getting harder Letting your memory go Your warm sweet touch with a heart so cold You tell me you love me But where are you now? I wanna believe you somehow Wherever you are I hope that you're fine I'll be here drinking My whiskey and your wine I see you around From time to time Thinking about those moments Where I was yours and you were mine My friends said to let go But they don't understand You're more than a memory With my heart in your hand You tell me you love me But where are you now? I wanna believe you somehow Wherever you are I hope that you're fine I'll be here drinking My whiskey and your wine I'll be here drinking My whiskey and your wine

Rye whiskey Rye whiskey Rye whiskey and wine I get all misty every time There's just old rags and pain cans and old turpentine Everyone's leaving, they shut down the mine They cleaned out the storefront and they took the stained glass They pulled out the trani and they syphoned the gas Shiver me timbers, shiver my spine I drink to the sawmills and the western white pine So hitch up the horses 'cause I feel just fine I'll ride them to Carmacks and I'll bring back more wine The chapel, the legion and the freemason hall They left all the keys here it's like I own them all So I'll buy the next round since we're frozen in time Don't bother calling I cut all the lines

A Salvation Army band played And the children drank lemonade And the morning lasted all day, all day And through an open window came Like Sinatra in a younger day Pushing the town away, away Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya Heyya ma ma ma, heyya Life in a northern town Hey ma ma ma ma He sat on the stony ground And he took a cigarette out And everyone else came down to listen It was the winter 1963 I thought that the world would freeze With John F.

Living in a border town You see good men get pushed around It's not hard to see that they are my brothers If it one for faith we might be each other Living in a border town You see women and children get hunted down Silly fools in their big green vans Viciously attempt to keep our people from their fatherland Power, they really feel the bad good christians As they defend this evil system Abillybopa they Can you dig what I a say A bloodstain is drear Has been glorified in this society The glut is put in pace for submission Araising memories Is to crucify the poor men's identity (Stolen land) Five hundred years of misery Could never be redeemed so easily How can we call these people aliens When we here are standing and stoling brow And them wanna keep in mistery The biggest scam in all of history Abillybopa they someday Them have to pay Nuestra paciencia ya se acabo No quieres acertar mi gente Nos de gracias en nuestra propria tierra Jah no nos puedes despreciar Ay Dios mio no hay mas que dar Stolen land - a nation built on slavery Stolen land - a poor example of democracy Stolen land - a nation built on slavery Stolen land - a poor example of democracy Stolen land - a nation built on slavery Stolen land - a poor example of democracy Stolen land - a nation built on slavery Stolen land - a poor example of democracy A poor example of democracy A poor example of democracy A poor example of democracy A poor example of democracy

You roll through life like a roaring fire I bring the rain like a thunderstorm Yeah, we found peace on a battlefield It all makes sense in love and war It all makes sense in love and war You and me, wild as a willow in a hurricane Strong enough to stand in the stormy weather We might be crazy enough to make history 'Cause the world just ain't the same since we got together And if we don't die young, we might just live forever There are kings and queens up on their thrones That have a love like you and me Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall But love has last eternally Love has last eternally You and me, wild as a willow in a hurricane Strong enough to stand in the stormy weather We might be crazy enough to make history 'Cause the world just ain't the same since we got together And if we don't die young, we might just live forever They might sing us in a song Or write our names up in the sky Even when it's carved in stone A love like ours goes on and on A love like ours goes on and on You and me, wild as a willow in a hurricane Strong enough to stand in the stormy weather We might be crazy enough to make history 'Cause the world just ain't the same since we got together And if we don't die young, we might just live forever You roll through life like a roaring fire I bring the rain like a thunderstorm
