Whiskey
do you have whiskey
in your bible
do you have someone
that let you down
do you feel tipsy
after revival
that you can't pour out
you can't pour out
do you still miss me
when they lay beside you
that you keep around
it still feels empty
somewhere inside you
that you can't get down
that you wish would drown
it's all coming out now
we're all throwing up now
just one more round
in your bottle
that cut you down
are you still listening
you broken throttle
you can't pour out...

'whiskey' in I-tunes
...i forget the name of the movie, but when i was a kid, i saw a cowboy movie where the bad guy carried a bible . it contained a spot inside that was carved out - where he kept his gun. i sort of lifted that idea and wrote about someone toting whiskey inside their bible instead. i know that there have been times in my life that i was so low, i thought maybe God himself couldn't even hear me.
this is one of those songs that i think we have all lived through at one point in our lives....or will.
no matter how much you try to forget something, someone, or both - sometimes your sadness gets the best of you. i wrote it in drop D with a capo ( something i like to do often by the way...)
i tried several different verses until everything just kind of fell into place at the last minute right before tracking the vocals. our friend matt hooper adds great violin parts to this tune. we're very proud of it! - LOVE this tune!
