lyrics

River of whiskey
Running through my head
Something tells me I'm better off dead
Little piece of ground is all I stood on
When that river of whiskey floated me back home

Chorus
River is deep
River is wide
But it don't take long to reach the other side
Where I come from It's hard to deny
That river’s always risin’, tides always high

From muddy banks I watch gadwall fly
That kind of sight makes me wanna cry
Tensaw river wash away my pain
River of whiskey runs through my veins

Chorus

That river was whiskey
And I was that poor old duck
I swam to the bottom and never came up
But it's not so bad I'm doin fine
Coulda been worse
Coulda been wine

Chorus
