Whiskey Wine and Beer
when the roses have all faded and the grapes have left the vines
and the bitterness of years long past have caught you out of line
will you gladly look ahead into the coming years
or will you hide your teardrops in your whiskey wine and beer
when all is gone and nothings left the devil takes a hold
he will burn the fires of living hell way down into your soul
he will take you down upon the skids in lonliness and fear
to hide your bitter teardrops in your whiskey wine and beer
i know for i had fallen down as low as man could go
then god lent a helping hand the devil left my soul
jesus christ he reached out and caught me as i fell
you too can have this life instead of whiskey wine and hell
