Whiskey Baptism Lyrics

I got me this affliction I can’t seem to fix

No tonics or tinctures or diagnosis

If the doctors could only find what’s wrong with me

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

I’ll be cork high and bottle deep

Full of well meant intentions that just get in the way

If I had my druthers, I’d sit here all day

Hard to summon the gumption to pick myself up

But if the creek don’t rise, I’ll be surprised

Fixin to get whiskey baptized

I’m sick as a dog

And prescription free

Down on both knees

This whole thing’s a mess

This battered old world

Could give me a rest

Keeps blowing right through me

This autumn cold air

Try so hard
