About This Song


A tune about how the whiskey can fog a lonely man's brain smile

Feedback Requested


This is a work tape, so lyrical and structural content is where I'd like feedback.

Uncle Brent ...

Hey Al,
Sweet tone ... I’d go with blind in the 2nd Verse.  I really like how “I get to thinkin’ and drinkin’ and I listen too well, To the lies that the whiskey tells” sits in the Chorus.  Thanks, Brent

Lies The Whiskey Tells

Written by Al Raebuck

Lord knows she'll come to her senses one day
Yeah, she's gonna realize the mistake that she made
She'll understand that there's no one like me
And she'll come a beggin' on her bended knee

CHORUS:
Lies that the whiskey tells
Just lies that the whiskey tells
I get to thinkin' and drinkin' and I listen too well
To the lies that the whiskey tells


Things'll go back to the way that they were
And she's gonna give me the love I deserve
She'll tell me she's sorry for being so blind (or unkind)
And I can leave all of this heartache behind

CHORUS

I know it's over, and she ain't comin' back
The train we were runnin' done jumped off the tracks
Now it's Mr. Jack Daniels, my dog, then there's me
Just looking for something that we can believe 

CHORUS
