Hemingway’s Whiskey - Guy Clark

Hemingway’s whiskey

Warm and smooth in me Even when it burns, it’ll always finish clean

He didn’t like it watered down, he took straight up and neat

If it was bad enough for him

You know it’s bad enough for me Hemingway’s whiskey

Oh it’s tough out there

Good music’s hard to find

Livin' one word to the next

One line at a time

There’s more to life than whiskey

There’s more to words than rhyme

Sometimes nothin' works

Sometimes nothin' shines

Like Hemingway’s whiskey

Sail away, sail away

Three sheets to the wind

Live hard, die hard

This one’s for him

Hemingway’s whiskey

Warm and smooth in me Even when it burns, it’ll always finish clean

Didn’t like it watered down, he took straight up and neat

If it was bad enough for him

You know it’s bad enough for me Hemingway’s whiskey
