Wake Up and Smell the Whiskey

There I was standing in the bar,

Sipping on the waters of life.

My mind being cloudy, my thoughts unclear,

Till a sure clarity came over me.

(chorus)

Wake up and smell the whiskey,

Don’t let your life pass you by,

Life can be hard, a heart can grow numb,

So wake up and smell the whiskey!

Standing with me mates, all around me,

There was no other place I’d rather be,

And who’s to say that life’s true purpose,

Isn’t like social meetings.

(chorus)

The day’s toil, it breaks my back,

And leaves my mind in disarray,

It makes me want to lay me down, and dream my life away,

But I know that the dream is really here.

(chorus)

(chorus)

Wake up and smell the whiskey!

Wake up and smell the whiskey!
