Firewater Lyrics - Ely Joe

You got drunk last night... you swear you saw the devil 

But don't you know firewater seeks its own level 

Life is a cyclone... death is but a breeze 

Will you die on your feet... or will you live on your knees? 

Guitar strummin'... wine overflowin' 

They say you have it comin'... if you never got it goin' 

You blame it on your baby that your heart was broke in half 

Well I can see you just been cryin'... so you don't have to laugh 

There ain't nothing sacred... you can beg or steal or borrow 

When you're swimmin' in self pity... you'll be drownin' in your sorrow 

You got drunk last night... you swear you saw the devil 

But don't you know firewater seeks its own level 

Your clothes fit fine and your hair looks great. 

You got time you can waste... but no time to wait 

You're drownin' me in the waves your brain sent 

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 

Perched on your back was a loud mouth vulture 

Y'all were talkin' back and forth about the counter-counter culture 

Smoke was hangin' 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 cold stone sober 

But you and all the rest... well your eyes gottin' muddy 

'Cause the bartender knows... he's gotta to serve somebody 

You got drunk last night... you swear you saw the devil 

But don't you know firewater seeks its own level 

You got drunk last night... you swear you saw the devil 

But don't you know firewater seeks its own level
