Hemingway/s Whiskey Lyrics - Somedays The Song Writes You - Guy Clark

Hemingway's whiskey warm 

And smooth and mean 

Even when it burns 

It will always finish clean 

He did not like it watered down 

He took it straight up and neat 

If it's bad enough for him 

You know it's bad enough for me 

Hemingway's whiskey 

You know it tough out there 

A good muse is hard to find 

Living one word to the next 

And living one line at a time 

Now there more to life then whiskey 

There's more to words than rhyme 

Sometime nothing works 

Sometimes nothing shines 

Hemingway's whiskey 

Sail away, sail away 

As the day grows dim 

Live hard die hard this one's for him 

Hemingway's whiskey 

Hemingway's whiskey warm 

And smooth and mean 

Even when it burns 

It will always finish clean 

He did not like it watered down 

He took it straight up an neat 

If it's bad enough for him 

You know it's bad enough for me 

Hemingway's whiskey
