over hills and mountains and to Amerikay  
you’re sweetness from the Bleachner and spunkier than tea  
oh whisky you’re my darling drunk or sober

Oh, oh, whiskey, if you were a woman  
I’d drive you from his tangled mind for good

Burns my blackened brain

I woke up face down in Amanda’s back alley, unaware of the fool I had been  
I rushed to my pony and grabbed my Winchester, and entered Amanda’s again  
There I saw my partners twirling my pistols and throwin’ my money around  
So blinded by anger, I jacked the lever, and one of them fell to the ground

For I know life is never pretty - and no fight is ever fair  
And the power and the glory go to those with strength and flair  
Those who cross me never prosper, those who threaten end up dead  
I don’t get mad - I don’t get even - I make sure I get ahead!
