Вступление
Whiskey River Music & Lyrics by Yeager
[Verse 1]
No one knew my name ‘til they saw me runnin’
Hiding out waitin’ for moonlight ta chase the sun
What’s a boy to do without money or a shotgun?
Where can he go now that his days are gone?
[Chorus]
They’ll take me back to Whiskey River
Say that’s where I belong
My momma said “C’mon son,”
All you ever do is run, don’t run from the law, oh no don’t run
[Verse]
Daddy left us home when I was a little bitty baby now
Momma always knew that day would come
Spent his days livin’ his love for the bottle
No one even said “Where ya goin’ Pa?”
[Chorus]
He went back to Whiskey River
Never comin’ home
She begged my daddy “Please”
Got down on her hands and knees said baby don’t run, no don’t run
[Verse]
Lyin’ in the water waiting for the sun to go down
People chasin’ the sounds of the hounds as they run
I ain’t going back nobody goin’ to take me there
Momma always knew this day would come
[Bridge]
Take me down in Whiskey River and call me done
Sounds of shotguns for a man on the run
I’m goin’ down … with the hounds and the guns
The shots are ringin’ in my head
They wanna leave this boy for dead
Til I’m done … ‘til I can’t run
[Verse 4]
Hey ‘ey, this boy’s done runnin’
All I hear are the sounds of the hounds as they run
What’s a boy to do when they have the shotguns?
They won’t stop this now until I’m gone
[Chorus]
They took me down in Whiskey River
Never goin’ home
My momma let out a scream
Fell down to her hands and knees ‘cause it’s done, her boy can’t run
