Butch Hancock - Firewater lyrics



You got drunk last night, You swear you saw the Devil
Don't you know Firewater seeks its own level

Well, life is a cyclone Death is but a breeze
Will you die on feet or will you live on your knees
Your guitar strumming, Wine overflowing
They say you have it coming If you never got it going
You blame it on your baby That your heart was broke in half
Well I can see you've just been crying so you don't have to laugh
There ain't nothing sacred You can beg or steal or borrow
When you're swimming in self-pity You'll be drowning in your sorrow

You got drunk last night, You swear you saw the Devil
Don't you know Firewater seeks its own level

Well your clothes fit fine Your hair looks great
You time you can waste But no time to wait
Your drowning me in the waves of your brain
It ain't love anymore It's just entertainment
If the Devil made you do it Well go for it honey
Just be sure you give him a run for his money
You can kill the bottle There ain't no murder mystery
There's a little bit left but all the rest is natural history

You got drunk last night, You swear you saw the Devil
Don't you know Firewater seeks its own level

Well, perched on your back Was this loud-mouthed vulture
Y'all were talkin back and forth about the counter-counter culture
Smoke was hanging heavy, Everybody had to breathe it
Your hands were on the table but your thoughts were underneath it
Everybody got stoned and when the night was over
The wildest one there was the coldest sober
But you and all the rest Your eyes were getting muddy
Cause the bartender knows he gotta serve somebody

You got drunk last night, You swear you saw the Devil
Don't you know Firewater seeks its own level
