Old 97's - Let The Whiskey Take The Reins lyrics

We had a smoke on the water We laughed for all it was worth And I called out your name but You didn't say what you heard We drove home in silence The reception was not too big I had a feelin' You would be leavin' me And it's so easy To be a man in pain Turn off your heart And let the whiskey take the reins I had a terrible vision Of a world outside of this bar But she keeps talkin' about walkin' Away from where we are And it's so easy To be a man in pain Turn off your heart And let the whiskey take the reins Yeah, it's so easy To be a man in pain Turn off your heart And let the whiskey take the reins We had a smoke on the water We laughed for all it was worth
