Whiskey Cleanse

[Intro]

Well, a restless man once told me so
If you ain't got nothin', son, you gotta go
He packed all his things and a bottle of gin
Hopped on a train, was never seen again

[Verse 1]

You were the craziest spark I ever did see
When we met at that bar down in Tennessee
Like your whiskey neat and your brisket lean
Once fell off a trampoline and lost your spleen

[Verse 2]

Well, I don't know where you've been runnin' round
But I've been here just holdin' shit down
With my two best buds and a bottle of goose
I reckon, babe, we 'bout to turn it loose

[Chorus]

Desperate men do desperate things
Like robbin' banks or buyin' diamond rings
Don't wanna be like 'em, but I think they kin
Gonna drink some whiskey and cleanse my sins

[Verse 3]

We stay up all night binging Lost repeats
Both agree it fell hard from its peak
You work in medicine; I dabble in carpentry
Got a little one-bedroom and a dog named Steve

[Verse 4]

The good times don't last, and things break bad
When you tell me you fucked that guy named Chad
Head down to the local dive, and never leave the place
Drown my sorrows in liquor till I forget your face

[Chorus]

Desperate men do desperate things
Like robbin' banks or buyin' diamond rings
Don't wanna be like 'em, but I think they kin
Gonna drink some whiskey and cleanse my sins

[Verse 5]

I moved out and you moved on; I guess that's why I wrote this song
Used to dream all day 'bout the way your lips would taste
Now it's been six damn years since I've seen your face
Was 23 when you blazed into me, at 33, you feel like a disease

[Chorus]

Desperate men do desperate things
Like robbin' banks or buyin' diamond rings
Don't wanna be like 'em, but I think they kin
Gonna drink some whiskey and cleanse my sins

[Outro]

I skipped town a couple years ago
No money in my pockets and no place to go
You were the brightest flame I ever did see
Damn shame you didn't feel the same about me
