Don’t Water My Whiskey Down

I've told my kids the story
 Of my family history
 Now I'll never get back
 What they once thought of me
 Up to now it's all
 Been made up make believe
 That I've told so many times
 I've started to believe it too
 So don't, water my whiskey down
 Freedom is a hoax
 It rode here on a boat
 Like a huddled-up mass
 That screwed up the winning pass
 In the championship game
 Where no one knows your name
 But aren't we all to blame
 As we all called the play
 Don't, water my whiskey down
 If whiskey was a river
 And I was a duck
 I'd sink down to the bottom
 And I'd never come back up
 I'd swim with the fishes
 Way too wasted to speak
 I'd tell them all my secrets
 Let my soul spring a leak
 So, don't, water my whiskey down
 Way up in the hills
 Where I come from
 There's fire in the water
 That'll keep you feelin' dumb
 Stop all the thinkin'
 And keep ya feelin' sick
 Place you in a stink
 Where you'll never think straight in again
 Don't water my whiskey down
 I need something stiff
 So give me something strong
 Fill it to the brim
 I need to feeling it going down
 Burning in my belly
 Then burning in my head
 Burning up the ghost
 Of a yesterday that's dead
 Don't water my whiskey down
 Don't water my whiskey down
