Salt Whiskey Lyrics - Singles - Hunter And The Dirty Jacks

Of soiled fields, she gathers grave rye 

She needs no wood to crucify 

The burning saves, reason she enslaves 

And I won't be back for days 

Evil moonshine Puts bad thoughts in my mind 

To her will I become resigned 

Ol Scratch adds His damned soul brew 

At the crossroads I ordered a few 

Pre-Chorus 1: 

Where she comes from, why she's here 

What she builds with a laugh she burns down with a tear 

I cannot quit her I can't put her down 

Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown 

Chorus: 

She brings me trouble so sweet I stagger up to my feet 

Just to drink her Salt Whiskey again (x2) 

V 3: 

She adds a dash of wasted seven years 

And salt of mistake childrens' tears 

Stilled in water It's past song she sings 

How it went through beggars and it went through kings 

Pre-Chorus 2: 

She won't show you your future only where you will fail 

How you dream to be read (red), but you'll just end up pale 

I cannot quit her I can't put her down 

Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown 

[Chorus] 

V4: 

Ground is dry, sun on my side 

Holster heavy as my pride 

Place I left, a good man had died 

When she my only guide 

V5: 

I can't stop While my heart beats 

Good people pray for rain 

All I ask, Lord what I pray, 

Is for my love to stop feeling like pain 

[Pre Chorus 2] 

She won't show you your future only where you will fail 

How you dream to be read (red), but you'll just end up pale 

I cannot quit her I can't put her down 

Cannot get above water, and can't seem to drown 

She brings me trouble so sweet I stagger up to my feet 

Just to drink her Salt Whiskey again (x4)
