Whiskey Ballad Lyrics - You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks - Seasick Steve

To all those people living in their flats 

Not so pristine 

Who look up from the alley ways 

That skies that we've all seen 

But somehow I know that 

They see it from a different point of view 

The red door's painted black 

The sky is gray not baby blue 

So lighten up, have a cup 

Of my happy golden drink 

It'll taste strong to begin with 

You'll get used to it, I think 

It'll wash away your sorrows 

Soak up your concern 

Only trouble when you wake up 

Not a single tables turn 

But it's all right, it's all right, it's all right 

So if you're a bit unhappy 

Or you're slightly depressed 

Just hum along to this song I wrote 

Release some of your stress 

But when I sing the chorus 

There's one thing I know for sure 

A nice clean shot of whiskey 

Is my recommended cure 

So lighten up, have a cup 

Of my happy golden drink 

It'll taste strong to begin with 

You'll get used to it, I think 

It'll wash away your sorrows 

And soak up your concern 

Only problem when you wake up 

Not a single tables turn 

But it's all right, it's all right, it's all right 

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right 

So lighten up, have a cup 

Of my happy golden drink 

It'll taste strong to begin with 

You'll get used to it, I think 

It'll wash away your sorrows 

And soak up your concern on a problem 

When you wake up not a single tables turn 

So lighten up, have a cup 

Of my happy golden drink 

It'll taste strong to begin with 

You'll get used to it, I think 

It'll wash away your sorrows 

And soak up your concern 

Only problem when you wake up 

Not a single tables turn
