From the recording A Sea of Empty Faces
Lyrics
I almost had it all, then I lost everything
All that’s left to me is my name
But I don’t need your pity. The only thing I need
Is to drown my sorrows and pain
Bartender you ask me what I’d like to drink
Well it’s been a long day and I can hardly think
My life is such a mess, so if you’re asking me
I’ll take my whiskey neat
The last one that we’d pull and then we’d all go clean
Then I saw them gun him down
Don’t ask me what I mean. No, don’t say anything
Just pour me another round
Bartender you ask me about my drink of choice
Well, I don’t need anything to water down my poison
My life is such a mess, so maybe what I need
Is to take my whiskey neat
Maybe it’s my fault. Maybe I brought it on myself
Now this glass is my only friend
I’m drinking till I’m numb and I still hurt like hell
Just keep pourin’ till I say when
Bartender you ask me what I’d like to drink
Well it’s been a long day and I can hardly think
My life is such a mess, so maybe what I need
Is to take my whiskey neat
So I’ll take my whiskey neat
Yeah I’ll take my whiskey neat
