When the water turns to whiskey
I'll be singing in the rain
When the water turns to whiskey
I'll be drownin' out my pains
When the water turns to whiskey
I'll drink the Mississippi dry
When the water turns to whiskey
I'll ask not why,Lord, I'll ask not why
When the water turns to whiskey
I'll forget whats killin' me
When the water turns to whiskey
I'll just let that dead dog be
When the water turns to whiskey
there'll be no reason for me to cry
When the water turns to whiskey
I'll ask not why, Lord, I'll ask not why
When the water turns to whiskey
I'll let my memory float away
When the water turns to whiskey
I'll find no reason for you to stay
When the water turns to whiskey
I won't worry 'bout your lies
When the water turns to whiskey
I'll ask not why, Lord, I'll ask not why
When the water turns to whiskey
and my final days are here
When the water turns to whiskey
I won't shed a single tear
When the water turns to whiskey
I'll just lay down and die
When the water turns to whiskey
I'll ask not why, Lord, I'll ask not why
