WHISKEY AND THE DEVIL
written by Eric King and John Alexander Aguon Jr.
performed by The Gypsy Sons
There’s a voice… whisperin’ to me…
Yeah, the kind of things I hear when I’m too drunk to see.
When reality and fantasy… can’t tell the difference between the two.
That’s not me… talkin’ to you.
“That’s not me!” is what I told her.
Don’t look for the truth when I’m drinkin’ a hundred proof.
I didn’t mean to say that “I love you.”
That’s not what I was tryin’ to do.
Blame it on the whiskey and the devil… on my shoulder!
‘Cause in my mind… I’m ten foot tall and bullet proof.
Cruising around all the bars in town for women just like you.
Now when the band plays, and the lights are low
I’ll tell you anythin’ you want me to.
But that’s not me… talkin’ to you.
“That’s not me!” That’s what I told her.
It was the here and now, and the stories that I sold her.
Now if it seems to you that I’m just a little bit colder.
Blame it on the whiskey and the devil…
The whiskey and the devil… on my shoulder!
“That’s not me!” That’s what I told her.
Last night got a little bit crazy, but now I’m sober.
And if it seems to you that I’m just a little bit colder.
Blame it on the whiskey and the devil…
The whiskey and the devil…
Blame it on the whiskey and the devil…
On my shoulder!
