Recorded LIVE from Terminal West in Atlanta, GA on 2.8.19

lyrics

At a bar in a town that I sure won't remember
The next time September will show her cruel face.
I will race to the bottom of every glass
and I hope that these drinks have a chance at replacing
the things that I lost on the way that I took to this place.

So give me one shot of whiskey
And two lines of cocaine,
Tell everyone who I love that I'm sorry but I'm built this way.
And if you see my brother,
Please tell him I'm fine.
Promise I'm trying to get home for Christmas though I'm not sure quite why,

Mercy me, oh my God, I'm afraid that I'm losing my mind.



It was hard. It was dark. I was starved for attention.
I was seeking redemption or a face that I know.
If there's one thing I've learned as I passed through the seasons
It's not that you reap what you sow.
It's that you get what you give if you're lucky,
But mostly you don't.

So give me one shot of whiskey...



Bridge: And I feel like a snowball in hell cause I ain't gonna last very long.
Or a liberty bell that got cracked on its very first song.
It would be easy to add up the things I've done right
Hard to count all the ones I got wrong.
Where did the time go?
Where has it gone?

So give me one shot of whiskey...
