about

Written while vacationing in Mexico. This may be my most requested song and I've often heard folks filling in their favorite drink for "whiskey."

lyrics

We need whiskey, before the night is long
If we don't get our whiskey, you'll know something's wrong

We've been playing a long long time in many a kind of bar
One thing that we've learned is we won't get very far
Without whiskey, (Can I get a whiskey?)
Can I get a whiskey? (Can I get a whiskey?)
I need someone to save me and a drink to set me free

Whether we are right or wrong, we always pass the test
We could drink the water but we think that whiskey's best

If you give us whiskey, we'll play our music fast
The only thing we'll leave behind is an empty glass
Can I get a whiskey? (Can I get a whiskey?)
I need someone to save me and a drink to set me free

Whiskey is our savior, a friend to you and me
So won't you pass that bottle of whiskey to me
Can I get a whiskey? (Can I get a whiskey?)
I need someone to save me and a drink to set me free
So won't you pass that bottle of whiskey to me?
