Whiskey Water & Pain

The Storm that Doesn't Change

[Verse 1]Things are bound to change, Before day breaksNinety miles South, Of Chain O' LakesAfraid she took a drink, and he went and did the sameClearly couldn't think straight, To the river bed they sank

..Whiskey water and pain

Traded all her love in for some Mexican Mud

He started losin' touch, Once too much, He filled his cup

By the time he came around, She was nowhere to be found

He slowly sailed away one day still speakin' her name

..Whiskey water and pain

The storm that doesn't change

..Whiskey water and pain

[Chorus]

It seems to me, There needs to be, A channeling of the energyI'm sinkin' way too deep, and I'm startin' to think, It's the end of me

A friend to you but no friend to me, One drink, Then two, Then three

I couldn't believe, She'd leave me here to bleed, Babe please I need—You to stay, and take me away,From whiskey water and pain

The storm that doesn't change,

..Whiskey water and pain

[Verse 2]

A stubborn man he was, Aches, Pain, Prescription drugs

Doesn't know, He doesn't know of the storm that's bound to comeBefore knowing better, He was gone as buried treasure,

And a storm that never would've came, Hit him like a hurricane

..Whiskey water and pain

[Chorus]

It seems to me, There needs to be, A channeling of the energy

I'm sinkin' way too deep, and I'm startin' to think, It's the end of me

A friend to you but no friend to me, One drink, Then two, Then three

I couldn't believe, She'd leave me here to bleed, Babe please I need—

You to stay, and take me away,From whiskey water and pain

The storm that doesn't change,

..Whiskey water and pain
