  • Whiskey river take my mind
    Don't let her memory torture me
    Whiskey river don't run dry
    You're all I got, take care of me

    Whiskey river, take my mind
    Don't let her memory torture me
    Whiskey river, don't run dry
    You're all I got, take care of me

    Well, I'm drowning in a whiskey river
    Bathin' my mem'ried mind in the wetness of its soul
    Feeling the amber current flowing from my mind
    And warm and empty heart you left so cold

    Whiskey river take my mind
    Don't let her memory torture me
    Whiskey river don't run dry
    You're all I got, take care of me

    I'm drowning in a whiskey river
    Bathin' my mem'ried mind in the wetness of its soul
    Feeling the amber current flowing from my mind
    And warm and empty heart you left so cold

    Whiskey river, take my mind
    Don't let her memory torture me
    Whiskey river, don't run dry
    You're all I got, take care of me

    Whiskey river, take my mind
    Don't let her memory torture me
    Whiskey river, don't run dry
    You're all I got, take care of me Writer/s: Johnny Bush
