Let the Whiskey Drive Tonight

you didn’t call so you're right on time
you fell in love with the bottom line
i've got a bottle and a book to help me thru

seven years of severed heads
dotted lines and unmade beds
i made a mask for everyone i ever knew

a certain trying circumstance
i lost your love to a french boys dance
and a list of all the things that i can't do

now you're standing right in front of me
a tattered flag caught in the breeze
half way down to mark the death
of someone new

are you really gonna leave this time?
for the western border line?
you think things will be just fine
back in california

it's a martyring machine
no one really wants me clean
and someone stole my keys
so let the whiskey drive tonight

san francisco rained for days
your brother tried to make me stay
but his face reminded me too much of you
so i packed the van and drove all night
slept out by the harbor lights
and woke up with the ocean in my shoes

and hollywood is no surprise
softer light for sunken eyes
and no one tells you no or what to do
and i love it there 'cause no one cares
if i'm breaking, broke or just unaware
word it right and they'll come back to you

are you really gonna leave this time?
for the western border line?
you think things will be just fine
back in california

it's a martyring machine
no one really wants me clean
and someone stole my keys
someone stole my keys
so i'm begging please

let the whiskey drive tonight
let the whiskey drive tonight
let the whiskey drive tonight
