Whiskey & The Water

Starin' down an empty street Between here and home So many promises broken here That'll never show Aren't you tired of walkin' From the back parts of your mind You're so scared of something You thought you'd never find And I've been tryin' to find my baby Between the whiskey and the water And all these cards that you've been dealin' You can hold a little longer I've tried love and I've tried stealin' But these nights are getting longer I swear I'll die in the crossfire Between the whiskey and the water Baby, don't you ever wanna Run away from home But all the outlaws stole your dreams And left your gold Where did you cut your teeth, baby Where'd you learn to fight If you never got tough How are you gonna stay alive And I've been tryin' to find my baby Between the whiskey and the water And all these cards that you've been dealin' You can hold a little longer I've tried love and I've tried stealin' But these nights are getting longer I swear I'll die in the crossfire Between the whiskey and the water Walkin' down a lonely street Used to be paved of gold Now it's just self-called rebels Livin' to be bought and sold Keep your head straight Johnny Don't you cross that line They'll never put out the fire In those American eyes And I've been tryin' to find my baby Between the whiskey and the water And all these cards that you've been dealin' You can hold a little longer I've tried love and I've tried stealin' But these nights are getting longer I swear I'll die in the crossfire Between the whiskey and the water And I've been tryin' to find it, baby You're the whiskey in the water And I can tell the way you're leanin' This drink's gettin' a little stronger If this love's packed its bags, I'm leavin' I won't hold you any longer Stick to your guns in the crossfire Between the whiskey and the water
