Barrels of Whiskey - 10 Year Version

As I stepped out me house, I saw this man named Clyde
He took me by the hand, saying, "I'll take you for a ride"
"There's a little secret no one should know
Deep into the forest we both gotta go

I'll show you the way I earn my daily bread
But dare not to reveal it, or you're gonna lose your head"

I make barrels of whiskey, it ain't no champagne
It's served in our brothels to keep away the pain
What I share with you, my lad, is the biggest secret I've ever had
I make barrels of whiskey, it ain't no champagne
It's served in our brothels to keep away the pain

See the soldiers at war on the battlefield
They've got more than a gun, my whiskey is their shield
Look at the crippled and wounded down the street
A passport to hell and a bottle to their feet

You don't leave a child or a sweetheart behind
This is our secret vow, so boy, don't be blind

I make barrels of whiskey, it ain't no champagne
It's served in our brothels to keep away the pain
What I share with you, my lad, is the biggest secret I've ever had
I make barrels of whiskey, it ain't no champagne
It's served in our brothels to keep away the pain

I make barrels of whiskey, it ain't no champagne
It's served in our brothels to keep away the pain

I make barrels of whiskey, it ain't no champagne
It's served in our brothels to keep away the pain
What I share with you, my lad, is the biggest secret I've ever had
I make barrels of whiskey, it ain't no champagne
It's served in our brothels to keep away the pain
