Uncle Tupelo - Whiskey Bottle lyrics

Persuaded, paraded, inebriated, and down Still aware of everything life carries on without 'Cause there's one too many faces with dollar sign smiles Got to find the shortest path to the bar for a while A long way from happiness In a three-hour-away town Whiskey bottle over Jesus Not forever, just for now Not forever, just for now There's a trouble around, it's never far away The same trouble's been around for a life and a day I can't forget the sound, 'cause it's here to stay The sound of people chasing money and money getting away A long way from happiness In a three-hour-away town Whiskey bottle over Jesus Not forever, just for now Not forever, just for now In between the dirt and disgust there must be Some air to breathe and something to believe Liquor and guns the sign says quite plain Somehow life goes on in a place so insane A long way from happiness In a three-hour-away town Whiskey bottle over Jesus Not forever, just for now Not forever, just for now
