Hunter and the Dirty Jacks - Salt Whiskey Songtexte

Of soiled fields, she gathers grave rye
She needs no wood to crucify
The burning saves, reason she enslaves
And I won't be back for days

Evil moonshine Puts bad thoughts in my mind
To her will I become resigned
Ol Scratch adds His damned soul brew
At the crossroads I ordered a few

Pre-Chorus 1:
Where she comes from, why she's here
What she builds with a laugh she burns down with a tear
I cannot quit her I can't put her down
Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown

Chorus:
She brings me trouble so sweet I stagger up to my feet
Just to drink her Salt Whiskey again (x2)

V 3:
She adds a dash of wasted seven years
And salt of mistake childrens' tears
Stilled in water It's past song she sings
How it went through beggars and it went through kings

Pre-Chorus 2:
She won't show you your future only where you will fail
How you dream to be read (red), but you'll just end up pale
I cannot quit her I can't put her down
Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown



V4:
Ground is dry, sun on my side
Holster heavy as my pride
Place I left, a good man had died
When she my only guide

V5:
I can't stop While my heart beats
Good people pray for rain
All I ask, Lord what I pray,
Is for my love to stop feeling like pain


She won't show you your future only where you will fail
How you dream to be read (red), but you'll just end up pale
I cannot quit her I can't put her down
Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown

She brings me trouble so sweet I stagger up to my feet
Just to drink her Salt Whiskey again (x4)
