Corn Liquor Lyrics - Buck Owens

Well when I was a little bitty boy no bigger than an old polecat 

Well I used to wonder like all kids what made this to that 

Now I'd seen what happened to my pa when he take a drink from a jug 

Yeah he'd start with a smile and then after awhile he'd be out on the floor like rug 

Corn liquor (corn liquor) corn liquor (corn liquor) what makes you do what you do 

Well they feel no pain when you touch their brain corn liquor they love you 

[ banjo ] 

Well now one day in the afternoon my folks were away for awhile 

Yeah I got the jug down from the shelf to see what made 'em smile 

Now I slowly sip in the nearly flip that one drink was enough 

For the life of me I just can't see why they love that awful stuff 

Corn liquor (corn liquor)... 

[ fiddle ] 

Well as I grew older I thought about that first sip that I had 

Yeah I really burned and soon I learned it wasn't all that bad 

Now to ease the pressures of this world here's the way I've got it figured 

Well the thing to do for me and you is drink lotsa good corn liquor 

Corn liquor (corn liquor)... 

Yeah I feel no pain when you touch my brain corn liquor I love you
