Lyrics
I was floating on a whisky river out in the sun [out in the sun]
I was floating on a whisky river out in the sun [floating out in the sun]
All day drinking whisky, just having fun
I was floating on a whisky river, then I fell in [ohh, he fell right in]
I was floating on a whisky river, then I fell in [oh no, he fell right in]
Though I was in trouble, all I did was grin
I’m drowning in a whisky river, over my head [uh-oh, he’s over his head]
I’m drowning in a whisky river, over my head [he’s drowning, over his head]
If I don’t learn to swim, gonna wind up dead
Love whisky so much, it’s hard to stop [oh, it’s hard to stop]
Love whisky so much, it’s hard to stop [it’s so damn hard to stop]
A golden gift from the angels, lovin’ ev’ry drop
Ecstasy in drams of bliss. Honey, smoke and sweet
Symphonies of flavor. Harmonies of heat
I’m drowning in a whisky river, over my head
I’m drowning in a whisky river, over my head [ohh, he’s over his head]
I’m drowning in a whisky river, over my head [he’s so far over his head]
And if I don’t learn to swim, gonna wind up dead
I was floating on a whisky river, then I fell in [uh-oh, he fell right in]
I was floating on a whisky river, then I fell in [kersplash! He fell in]
Now I’m drowning in a whisky river, hope I learn . . .
To swim
