about

this was written in response to the deplorable toby keith song 'whiskey girl'. a send up of the hard drinking cliche, tongue firmly in cheek and light on the moralizing

lyrics

tea and sympathy

give it up girl don't live in a bottle
gotta learn to steer before you go full throttle
or you'll hit the wall, too close to call

take another sip just fall through the cracks
another road ahead puts the wind at your back
if you last that long, if you just stay strong

you're about as a big as a celery stalk
taking off the dial of your favourite clock
'cause you want to save time, well it's half past nine
somewhere

maybe i'm mad and maybe i'd dare
to take the time that it takes to care
if you missed last call, jumped that wall

from whiskey nights to heartsick days
running up a tab that your spirt pays
in sticks and stones, in broken homes

now i'm no saint, not one to talk
there's a great big life if you only stop
and maybe see, what else could be
right there
