2 Dollars of Whiskey Burbon American Epic

2 Dollar's of Whiskey Bourbon My sweet Jubilee, To toast My throat is drier Than Country Music Heartache And tired double bass In downtown New Orleans's Backwater Blues Scratching Cotton field tune's Backed by Harmonicas and Flutes Rag Time, Swing Time Jazz Time Line Dancing Play that Banjo Boy Like its the 4th of July Slide your slow hands down Southern Soul Put the needle on the Gramophone Take me Home Take me back I yearn to hear the record scratch 1 last time Before I walk the Green Mile Dead Man Walking
