I been down on my luck, been down too long this time
I drank up to the bottom 'til I found myself there too
And the taste of defeat has never been so sweet
So I pour 'nother glass and fail again and againI been down and I been higher than Sears Tower
I asked the higher powers if they could just spare a drink
Did they answer my cries? I was a bit preoccupied
I toasted them, boasted to them the day they met their matchBut as long as there is whiskey in the world
We can drink away the harvest, we can drink away the girls
Well, we'll fall in love with an amber touch
As long as there is whiskey in the worldI have loved and I've lost all that they gave me
They all try and save me but I'm seeing this thing through
And these feelings of remorse, they left me no recourse
So I pour 'nother glass and fail again and againBut as long as there is whiskey in the world
We can drink away the harvest, we can drink away the girls
Well, we'll fall in love with an amber touch
As long as there is whiskey in the worldI don't want to be savedAs long as there is whiskey in the world
As long as there is whiskey in the world
As long as there is whiskey, as long as there is whiskey
As long as there is whiskey in the world
