Those Nebraska winters chill to the bone
Magnify that by a call on the phone
Lord, ain't it funny how it turns on a dime
Here I am falling like Northwestern pine
Yeah, here I am falling like Northwestern pine
Now, I have two daughters, a house and a wife
And we never faced much financial strife
But that January scared us to death
We couldn't put our worries to rest
No, we couldn't put our worries to rest
I'll hang my head high, keep the worries down low
I've had some thoughts that you shouldn't know
I'll pick up the pieces and drown my sorrow
Drink whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow
Whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow
Now, my mom, she called me from Idaho
She said life is full of highs and lows
I can't send you money, but I'll send you my prayers
Just have some faith in the good man upstairs
She said just have some faith in the good man upstairs
I'll hang my head high, keep the worries down low
I've had some thoughts that you shouldn't know
I'll pick up the pieces and drown my sorrow
Drink whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow
Whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow
Now, I looked my girls right in the eye
And I said there is no reason to cry
I promise you everything will turn out right
But the thoughts in my head, I couldn't hide
No, the thoughts in my head, I couldn't hide
I'll hang my head high, keep the worries down low
I've had some thoughts that you shouldn't know
I'll pick up the pieces and drown my sorrow
Drink whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow
Whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow
