Tensaw - River of Whiskey Lyrics

River of whiskey
Running through my head
Something tells me I'm better off dead
A little piece of ground is all I stood on
And that river of whiskey floats me back home

River is deep
River is wide
But it didn't take long, to reach the other side
Where I come from, it's hard to deny
That river's always rising, and the tide is high

From muddy banks, I watch the gadwall fly
That kind of sight always makes me cry
Tensaw River is gonna wash away my pain
River of whiskey runs through my veins

River was deep
River was wide
But it don't take long, to reach the other side
Where I come from, it's hard to deny
That river's always rising, and the tide is high

That river was whiskey
And I was that poor old duck
I swam to the bottom and never came up
Well that's alright, I'm doing fine
It could've been worse
It could've been wine

River is deep
River is wide
But it don't take long, to reach the other side
Where I come from, it's hard to deny
That river's always rising, and the tide is high
