lyrics

Well, my eyes are whiter than a crescent moon
Yea, I've got more promise than a bride and groom
but there're skeletons that live behind my smile

I stand up straighter than a candlestick
but my heart is as heavy as a cinder brick
so I've got to trick my conscience for a while

I'm gonna live before I'm dead
I'm gonna dress the town in red
Just remember what your momma always said
Don't let the whiskey go to your head

Well, my odds are better on a fixed roulette
‘cause my head is smoking like a cigarette
and I'm laughing like a preacher while she cries

My mind is missing like a puzzle piece
Yea, I need some courage just to get relief
‘cause I'm watching while the young man in me dies

I'm gonna set your soul on fire
‘cause momma's preaching to the choir
Whoever said there is no heaven was a liar
Just let the whiskey take you higher

I'm gonna live before I'm dead
I'm gonna dress the town in red
Just remember what your momma always said
Don't let the whiskey go to your head
