Wish I Didn't Like Whiskey
a little different look at an age old problem
Rockin' Honky Tonk and true Country
Story behind the song
I got the hook from a friend one night while listening to some live music. It took a while for the song to develop, but all turned out well after a little help from Johnny Neel.
Lyrics
Wish I Didn’t Like Whiskey
When I go out to have a good time
I find them standing all in line
Inviting me out on thin ice
And once again I didn’t think twice
chorus
Wish I didn’t like whiskey, wish it didn’t like me
I don’t need friends, no not like these
They revel in my misery
I wish I didn’t like whiskey, wish it didn’t like me
Where’d I meet them, how long’s it been
I just can’t turn my back on them
They’re always there when I hit the ground
Let me tell you neighbor, it’s a long way down
chorus
Maybe someday I’ll find an old barstool
Where they won’t know I’ve played the fool
But the only truth in this poor boy’s life
Is I can run but I just can’t hide
