v1
He turned to the bottle,
about ten years ago.
Now it's been his best friend,
so he's never home alone.

v2
They say he lost his lady.
And it's driving him insane.
Now his only love is whiskey.
He has never been the same.

Bridge.

When he run's out of whiskey,
he can't make it thru the day.
He walk's into the tavern.
This is what he has to say.

Chorus
Pour me some whiskey.
One shot at a time.
If you leave the bottle,
in an hour I'll be fine.
And bring up some beer,
for my friends sitting at the bar.
I don't have no money,
but I'll sell you my old car.

v3
He sells everything he owns.
To keep those bottles by his side.
Now he has to have it.
Just to stay alive.

v4
They say he was a welder.
A man of many skills.
But he sold off everything he owns.
Just to drink and pay his bills.

Bridge

When he runs out of whiskey,

Chorus

Bring up some beer,
for my friends sitting at the bar.

Yeah, I don't have no money.
But I'll sell you my "old car".]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club nitetrapper https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/pour-me-some-whiskey/#post-3465
