The Whiskey Lingers - The Bonnevilles

Whiskey lingers

I never wanted to be skinny anyways

I always needed to be ready to fight

Hold on

I’m gonna do everything I said I would

Hold on

Now you’re judging me

Hold on

I’m gonna do everything I said I could

Hold on

This dog’s being judged by its fleas

You said it was yours to take

But I say it’s only mine to give

Whiskey lingers

I never wanted to be skinny anyways

I always needed to be ready to fight

We betrayed the betrayers and it felt good

Then we ran all the way to the sea

Got clean, came home

Looks like we’d never gone

It’s just a formality to get back to what we do

You said it was yours to take

But I say it’s only mine to give

Ooh

Whiskey lingers

I never wanted to be skinny anyways

I always needed to be ready to fight

Hold on

I’m gonna do everything I said I would

Hold on

Now you’re judging me

Hold on

I’m gonna do everything I said I could

Hold on

This dog’s being judged by its fleas

You said it was yours to take

But I say it’s only mine to give
