lyrics

Swingin’ doors and whiskey river: the first words I learned to say Willie, Merle, and all those outlaws was all that Daddy’d ever play These beer joints where I’m workin’ I started workin’ at 16
And if I look a little ragged, must be those 30 years between.

My first single hit the big time, for a while there I was hot
I can’t recall the early ‘90s, and these last 10 I’d rather not
There are mornings when I wonder what I can show for all my time But I sure can sing with feeling: “Whiskey river take my mind.”

This honky-tonkin’ way of livin’ I’ve been livin’ way too long ‘Scuse me if I’m late for heaven -- I just lived a country song.

Now in this Super 8 in Reno, a couple screamin’ through the wall
I’m lyin’ in my jeans and dreamin’ ‘bout a girl in Omaha
Well that’s been 20 years and counting, I can’t go back there anyhow I’ve hitched my wagon to a heartache, and Lord I’m sleepin’ with it now.

This honky-tonkin’ way of livin’ will make the weak out of the strong Don’t tell your troubles to me, mister -- until you’ve lived a country song.

When that lost highway finds you, those family ties won’t bind you No matter how your Mama may try
Just follow Hank down that highway, till you feel it when you say “I’m so lonesome I could cry”...

This honky-tonkin’ way of livin’ I’ve been livin’ way too long ‘Scuse me if I’m late for heaven -- I just lived a country song. And if I never get to heaven, it’s ‘cause I lived a country song.
