Schwa Lyrics

Whiskey Woman

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

I remember the day that we first met
Playin' seven card, and at the bar you sat
I was losin', you were cruisin'
We shared a table and we downed a fifth of Jack

I didn't know what I was gettin' into then
Never thought I'd be no-one's back door man
With the bottle gone, we were movin' on
You were drivin' fast as anybody can

You knew how to pull my strings
Made my inner songbird sing
I settled underneath your wing

You weren't kiddin' when you said you'd treat me right
Keep me happy while your man was gone at night
Kick off my shoes, take away my blues
I'd slip out that door before the day's first light

I didn't want it to end this way
We both knew there'd come a day
There's really nothin' left to say

Ride on whiskey woman, slide on across the floor
Ride on whiskey woman, slide right on out that door

As time went by we both knew that this was wrong
Every day that passed was one day too long
You say you love me, but you don't love me
There ain't no happy ending to a sad, sad song
