Whiskey Neat & Vodka Straight Lyrics

I'm gonna get drunk today

Gonna pour the whiskey

Neat and vodka straight

Feel it burn as it erodes the pain that courses through my veins

And hope my heart can withstand the strain

I'm gonna get blackout drunk today

Gonna drink till vomit chokes on words

I know I shouldn't say

I'm so tired of living sober

These mundane lows must go away

I'm gonna get so fucked up today

I'll be drunk listening to the greats

Dylan with his jack of hearts

Cohen with his Joan of Arc and

Lemmy setting fire to ace of spades

Cash one of the first to sing addiction

And prine said" Old people they just grow lonesome"

Blaze Foley when I'm six drinks deep has me convinced he wrote the best song ever

Whiskey neat and vodka straight

I'm gonna start making tracks today

Raise a toast to whiskey neat and vodka straight

Ditch the trauma that engulfs my mind

One last hurrah in this ghost town

This place is Dogville to me

If we should cross paths pass me by

Sometimes even the stars

Inaccurately align

I'm done with hoarding old dirt boots

Trees grown from soles with rotted roots

These days if you ask, I'll say I'm fine

I'll be drunk listening to the greats

Cobain with his heart shaped box

Knopflers fingers off the charts

And

Rea driving on his road to hell

Chapman wrote a song to last millenniums

And Lennon did the same when he imagined

Candle In the wind lives on

There's wax to burn in every song

I take my whiskey neat and vodka straight

Whiskey neat and vodka straight
