Liquor & Love

You don’t put candy, on a breakfast plate

You don’t go out fishin’, with no poison bait

There’s some kinda pair, tear a hole in a glove

Like whiskey & women, like liquor & love

 

You don’t put your hand, on no searin’ flame

You don’t call on no woman, forgettin’ her name

There’s some kinda warnings, rain down from above

Like thunder & lightning, like liquor & love

 

You don’t drive your car, into a tree

You don’t build no house, out of debris

There’s some kinda notion the devil thought of

Like wagin’ a war, like liquor & love

 

You don’t need no tie, to play in the dirt

You don’t go to church, wearin’ no shirt

There’s some flights you fall down, you don’t need any shove

Like wagering rent, like liquor & love

 

You don’t jump from no bridge, and walk away

You don’t starve a cat, and get him to stay

There’s a red-tailed hawk, flying after a dove

Like a dog chasin’ buses, like liquor & love
