BETWEEN THE WARS LYRICS

"I Won't Ever Get Between My Woman And Her Whiskey Anymore"

The wind in this city at night
Howls like a dog that's been locked up all it's life
She's going out again, getting drunk with our friends
I won't get between my woman and her whiskey anymore

My lady runs on turpentine
Ask her, it's all about me
Face down on the floor, at a quarter to four
I won't ever get between my woman and her whiskey anymore

We drank one at the bus stop then two at the show
three at the after party now she's ready now to go
Off to the all nighter where she'll drink another four
I won't ever get between my woman and her whiskey anymore
From late afternoon to the walk home at dawn
And all the inbetweens, well, we spent at the bar
Crawled up the steps to the second floor
I won't ever get between my woman and her whiskey anymore

I can't look at this romantically
it's the sorriest state I have seen
and I won't take any calls

If it's my mother tell her I'm sleeping
If it's my father tell him I'm working
If it's my job tell them I'm busy
If it's my friends tell them don't bring the car
I'll be at the bar

My mother she never met your sort
And my father he's no help at all
and I won't take any calls

If it's my mother tell her I'm sleeping
If it's my father tell him I'm working
If it's my job tell them I'm busy
If it's my friends tell them don't bring the car
I'll be at the bar

In the quiet hours after the ball
She blames her mother, the schools and the church
“Screw them all!
“I can't remember if...... no, I can't remember at all.”
So it's back to the race, keep your eye on the lottery draw.

My typewriter's run dry, the ribbon can't be bought
They don't make those no more for the regular store
And if I can't hear those keys, I won't write no more
I won't ever get between my woman and her whiskey anymore
