Water Into Whiskey Lyrics

Verse 1
He turned my water into whiskey, and it made me a believer
He didn’t want to do it, but then I changed his mind
When he baptized me in bourbon, Lord, it quieted my fever
For my sins I need a spirit stronger than wine
Now the one thing I’ve been runnin’ from just sidled up beside me
Like no time had passed between us, you flashed that wicked smile
But redemption for my broken heart won’t come to you that easy
So I’ll stick with the liquor, son, and get you off my mind
Chorus
I never find it worth the comedown, honey
I never find it worth the comedown, honey
One look in that mirror, and I won’t be in that line
I never find it worth the comedown, honey
And I won’t be going with you tonight

I’d rather sell my soul to the devil than put my faith in you So give me something that I can believe in
Something more than a glimpse of heaven
with the hell still showing through
’Cause I’m done with that brand of deceiving And I won’t be taken this time
Verse 2
Most times I’m victim of my self-induced trials and tribulations
A self-made Job with a heavy load, a martyr when the sun goes down
But you came along to test my faith and left me begging for salvation
And I couldn’t hold a candle to the wreck you left behind
I no longer hear your whitewashed fiction with the ears of a stranger
My worthless physicians tried to warn me all along
No matter how the story starts with you, the ending never changes
You’ll take more than you’ve given and leave me hanging by a song
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
I don’t need to feel like I’m king of the world for a second on a Saturday night
Just to wake up to the weight of the world dragging me beneath the morning light
You can get me high
I never found you worth the comedown, honey
