Whiskey Too from Stunts by Sons of Ditches

An old friend of mine said I was looking good
Said I was feeling way better than I probably should
He called me liar and told me to tell
Exactly how it was I get along so well

I guess the cigarettes help and the whiskey too
And I change my strings and I shine my shoes
I got songs to sing, I sit and read the news
And the cigarettes help and the whiskey too

I keep never getting younger in a threadbare bar
I keep never getting better at this old guitar
Noon's a fine enough time for mixing alcohol
Three's too late or early for anything at all

Yeah the cigarettes help and the whiskey too
And I change my strings and I shine my shoes
I got songs to sing, I sit and read the news
And the cigarettes help and the whiskey too

Well I got a hundred dollars and I got all night
To count how many wrongs it takes to make a single right
This lonely girl’s only here to make it all worse
With lipstick on her teeth and cheap vodka in her purse

O lord the cigarettes help and the whiskey too
And I change my strings and I shine my shoes
I got songs to sing, I sit and read the news
And the cigarettes help and the whiskey too
