Whiskey Bottle Lyrics - No Depression - Uncle Tupelo

Persuaded, paraded, inebriated and down 

Still aware of everything life carries on without 

'Cause there's one too many faces with dollar sign smiles 

I got to find the shortest path to the bar for a while 

A long way from happiness 

In a three hour away town 

Whiskey bottle over Jesus 

Not forever, just for now 

Not forever, but just for now 

When there's a trouble around, it's never far away 

The same trouble's been around for a life and a day 

Oh, I can't forget the sound, 'cause it's here to stay 

The sound of people chasin' money and money gettin' away 

A long way from happiness 

In a three hour away town 

Whiskey bottle over Jesus 

Not forever, just for now 

Not forever, but just for now 

Oh in between the dirt, disgust there must be 

Some air to breathe and something to believe 

Liquor and guns the sign says quite plain 

Somehow life goes on in a place so insane 

A long way from happiness 

In a three hour away town 

Whiskey bottle over Jesus 

Not forever, just for now 

Not forever, but just for now
