Lyrics
Whiskey river, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey river, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me
Whiskey river, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey river, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me
I'm drowning in a whiskey river
Bathin' my memory's mind in the wetness of its soul
Feeling the amber current flowing from my mind
And leaving the heart you left so cold
Whiskey river, take my mind
And don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey river, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me
I'm drowning in a whiskey river
Bathin' my memory's mind in the wetness of its soul
Feeling the amber current flowing from my mind
And leaving the heart you left so cold
Whiskey river, take my mind (take my mind)
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey river, don't run dry
You're all I got, take care of me
Whiskey river, take my mind
Whiskey river, take my mind
