Lyrics

[Intro]
I love that one
Four, three, one, two, three, four
E A E G A/D
E

[Verse 1]
      E
Got a whiskey-drinkin' fever that I cannot shake
And those girls downtown are more than I can take
     A
High-waisted rockies and the sailor's mouths
            E
And the boys in the back of the bar scream loud

[Chorus]
G             A/D           E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

[Verse 2]
           E
And I smell like cologne and cigarettes
But I ain't found a lady or a bar fight yet
    A
I'll wait around just to stir shit up
         E
That whiskey river flowin' ain't ever enough

[Chorus]
G             A/D         E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

[Verse 3]
             E
'Cause I'm a heavy-drinkin',
hard-hittin' good ol' boy
There ain't a man in this county that can keep me employed
A
Can't stay sober past 11 AM
         E
My breath smells like my regrets again

[Chorus]
G             A/D         E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

[Verse 4]
        E
I had a woman in Wisconsin and a woman in Maine
But they told me that they'd never love a man so insane
  A
I head to Oklahoma with the flask and a comb
      E
Do my best to find another place I can roam

[Chorus]
G             A/D           E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

[Verse 5]
          E
There was no one in town that would give me a ride
So I waited for my heavy drunkenness to subside
A
Stole a pick-up truck from a gas station pump
  E
I pray to the Lord for a run of good luck

[Chorus]
G             A/D         E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

[Instrumental]
E A E G A/D
E
Yeah
E A E G
A/D E

[Verse 6]
          E
And I was four hundred miles down Highway 10
All of a sudden I was arrested again
     A
They told me eight years in the county pen
         E
Or eight years in the army killin' evil men

[Chorus]
G             A/D           E
Oh, whiskey river take me home

[Bridge]
                E
Now there's sand in my boots,
sand in my eyes
Sand everywhere that sand can hide
A
How I miss those downtown girls
         E
And that whiskey river that ruined my world
G            A/D          E
Oh, Uncle Sam   I wanna go home

[Verse 7]
        E
I had a whiskey-drinkin' fever that I could not shake
And those girls downtown were more than I could take
         A
The high-waisted rockies and the sailor's mouths
    E
Boys in the back of the bar screamin' loud

[Outro]
G             A/D           E
Oh, whiskey river take me home
G             A/D            E
Oh, whiskey river I wanna go home
That take ripped
That take fuckin' ripped, dude
