Whiskey Bottle Songtext / Lyric

Well, well, well, oh yeah, mm.
I'm sitting here in Memphis,
Whiskey bottle in my hand, oh.
I got to find a woman,
I'm only on a one-night-stand.
I've got to kick away these blues,
Got to get on my rock and roll shoes.
I'm leaving in the morning,
I'm heading for the promised land. Got to call a number,
A certain woman in town, yeah.
But when I got connected she told me,
She was going to settle down,
Oh baby yeah.
I've got to kick away these blues,
Got to get on my rock and roll shoes.
I'm leaving in the morning,
I'm heading for the promised land.
Oh baby, look out over there. Ever since I've been playing guitar in a band,
Ever since I've been to St. Davida's school,
Every time I tried to play my winning hand,
I get a little closer but it's still the same old game.

Ma ma mama, I get a little closer to you, Baby.
Seem like you're all the same,
I get a little closer to you, still the same old game.
Come on baby, I want to take you with me.

I've got to leave the city,
I'm headed to the California sun,
+Oh yeah yeah yeah.
They say the girls are pretty,
And pretty soon I'm going to get me one,
Yeah yeah yeah.
I've got to kick away these blues,
Got to get on my rock and roll shoes.
I'm leaving in the morning,
I'm heading for the promised land.
Lord knows I am.
Ever since I've been playing guitar in a band,
Ever since I've been to St. Davida's school,
Every time I tried to play my winning hand,
I get a little closer but it's still the same old game.

Ever since I've been playing guitar in a band,
Ever since I've been to St. Davida's school,
Every time I tried to play my winning hand,
I get a little closer but it's still the same old game.
