Well Whiskey

I get my whiskey from a well
 Except on holidays, then it's the top shelf
 But tonight I don't mind if I spend a little more
 'Cause you're a tolerant woman and the world is at war
 I know you witnessed my decline
 You used to push back the darkness like a floodlight
 But tonight that's a secret, like the soul of a whore
 That if you want to have fun, you just have to ignore
 Now I let my troubles solve themselves
 I used to get involved, but I'm just no help
 But tonight let's pretend that we're just like we were
 Let me stay until the morning, I'll sleep on the floor
 And we can talk in circles, no dollar figures
 Just what is owed or paid
 We can make predictions, I know you see the future
 And I agree, and we agreed, tonight is not happening
 ♪
 When I got dry as a desert, I got mean
 I was as lonely and empty as a canteen
 With no anesthetic, you are bound to be sore
 But tonight I'm drinking all peaceful and warm
 And just when I got fed up with that gray sky
 The sun came out of nowhere like a bar fight
 And it knocked out the wind, and it bruised me with light
 And I felt grateful for living just like I feel tonight
 But I know you feel safer in a group
 Where you could be anyone or they could be you
 But tonight we'll take risks that you can afford
 You still have bars on your windows and a hole in your door
 We can talk in circles around a dirty mirror
 Night trickles down our throats
 And we can make a timeline to last our whole lives
 We don't know, but no one knows what's further up the road
 
 Just wait and see
 Just wait and see
 All in time
 All in time
