Buddy Jewell - The Whiskey And The Wind Lyrics

She´s got a picture of him as a drifter
She knows all about his outlaw past
He couldn´t see that, gave up his freedom
She didn´t even have to ask.
As far as she knows, he´s over all of that
But she doesn´t know how close he´s come to going back

Cause the whiskey and the wind
Are stronger than they´ve ever been
And not to now the two best friends he´s ever known
They keep whispering to him
He don´t need her when he´s got them
So he prays to God that they don´t prove him wrong again
Or he´ll be gone again with the whiskey and the wind

Stuck in Chicago, three feet of fresh snow
But he´s got a company creditcard
The end of a long day, he eats in a cafe
Across the lobby from the hotelbar
And the devil on his shoulder
Reminds him he´s alone
As he walks passed the bar,
To his room to call back home

Cause the whiskey and the wind
Are stronger than they´ve ever been
And not to now the two best friends he´s ever known
They keep whispering to him
He don´t need her when he´s got them
So he prays to God that they don´t prove him wrong again
Or he´ll be gone again with the whiskey and the wind

Oooh the whiskey and the wind
The whiskey and the wind
