Guy Clark - Hemingway's Whiskey lyrics

Hemingway's whiskey warm and smooth and mean Even when it burns it will always finish clean He did not like it watered down he took it straight up and neat If it's bad enough for him you know it's bad enough for me Hemingway's whiskey You know it tough out there a good muse is hard to find Living one word to the next and living one line at a time Now there more to life then whiskey theres more to words than rhyme Sometime nothing works sometimes nothing shines Hemingway's whiskey Sail away sail away as the day grows dim Live hard die hard this ones for him Hemingway's whiskey Hemingway's whiskey warm and smooth and mean Even when it burns it will always finish clean He did not like it watered down he took it straight up an neat If it's bad enough for him you know it's bad enough for me
