Waltz About Whiskey

Once the gettin' was good

But now the gettin's got gone

So I'm going downtown

Just to tie one on

Im oak aged and sour

I'm going down by the hour

And I'm as blue, as the night is long

So wont someone dance with me

To a waltz about whiskey

And turn the sad songs to lullabies

I don't need much of nothing

Except for all your loving

And a waltz about whiskey on ice

Well one quarter should do

Number A32

A little truth from the jukebox

Should make it alright

And as the booze sets in

I'm getting high again

To a waltz about whiskey on ice

So wont someone dance with me

To a waltz about whiskey

And turn the sad songs to lulabys

I don't need much of nothing

Except for all your loving

And a waltz about whiskey on ice

Well I remember the night

She sat down beside me

She cried love was a ring that wont end

Well I was handed a lie

And now the only thing

I know of a ring

Is a circle my glass leaves behind

So wont someone dance with me

To a waltz about whiskey

And turn the sad songs to lulabys

I don't need much of nothing

Except for all your loving

And a waltz about whiskey on ice
