Whiskey Love (Live)

Went and hit the crossroads down on 17th
Looking forward to finding some release
Saw a man in rags with his head upon the street
He said come here son and lend your ear to me

He said, "Don't you know that whiskey love's the dream?"
I don't know why, and I don't know what it means
Find someone to share your soul
Love 'em 'til the bottle's gone
And when the morning comes
Find somewhere to be

Little Susie came down on her way from Myrtle Beach
She hungered for a different kind of scene
Her daddy was a drunkard and her mama was a freak
So I shared the words the old man sang to me

I said, "Don't you know that whiskey love's the dream?"
I don't know why, and I don't know what it means
Find someone to share your soul
Love 'em 'til the bottle's gone
And when the morning comes
Find somewhere to be
Somewhere to be

In the hills of Georgia, where I finally found some peace
Now I lay me down among those sacred trees
Been a long time coming since we met on 17th
And now I understand the words he spoke to me

He said, "Don't you know that whiskey love's the dream?"
Now I know exactly what it means
Find someone to share your soul
Throw away the bottle so
When the morning comes
You find yourself complete
Complete
