CHORUS
Whiskey man, he's a whiskey man
He don't give a rat's ass, he don't give a hot damn
Whiskey man, he's a whiskey man
Gonna die with a bottle in his hand
His best friend told him, brother wait
Whiskey's gonna dig your grave
His mother and his father too
Said whiskey be the end of you
CHORUS
He cracked a seal at half past noon
Put it down just after two
Picked his shoes up off the floor
And went on down to the liquor store
His loving wife cried baby, please
Don't do this to the kids and me
Don't you think you've had enough?
He said my drinking's just begun
CHORUS
Old Doc McGee said better stop
Your sugar's up, your liver's shot
Said Doc, have a snort or two?
Doc said don't mind if I do
They locked him up in Betty Ford
Strapped him to the water board
Doped him up with thorazine too
Gonna beat that whiskey out of you
CHORUS
They turned him loose in thirty days
Stumbling in the thorazine haze
A productive member of society
Working hard and drinking tea
Least that's how the story goes
But 'fore we bring this to a close
Said if I have to take these meds
Need a shot to clear my head
He went on down to the liquor store
Bought all the whiskey he could afford
Said remember who I am
I'll always be the whiskey man
CHORUS
