Somewhere South

Whiskey's a liar
The good stuff and the cheap
Tell you what you want to hear
Make you promises it can't keep
For a while it'll keep you warm
For a while you'll feel the fire
For a while you'll be happy
But whiskey's a liar

Time is a thief
With an axe to grind
And just when you're living good
It'll rob you blind
Take away your wide eyed youth
All it can do is cause you grief
Time doesn't crawl it flies
And time is a thief

If life is a circus
If life is a mess
Then I'm walking on a wire
And I'm stepping on your dress
And I'm standing at your door step
Under a yellow porch light
Well, I once had a key
But this ain't my night
I got a getaway car in the driveway
I got a cigarette in my mouth
If anyone asks where I'm going
Tell them I'm going somewhere south
