"Whisky And Pine" lyrics

Take me up on that mountain top and cut out my soul
Cause I was told by the devil you got a heart of gold
Down on the shoreline and wash out my lungs
Cause there black from all the smoking and the mining dust
Breath in the water let it roll through my veins
Born in a hurricane you'll never be tame
We're not so different but were not exactly the same
My tears hit the water like spring rain

Because I'm half the man I used to be
A quarter the man I want to be
An eighth of the man that I should be
I'm half the man I used to be
A quarter the man I wanna be

An eighth of the man that I should be
I'm so tired of this holy war I'm laying down my guns
I can see it in your eyes you've already won
So turn my cannons from your tower
With gunpowder and smoke
The world you're fighting for has long been broke
So build me a campfire out of whisky and pine
Over the ridge stay up til sunrise
Lay by my side and watch the stars collide
Will you think of me when you watch the night sky

Because I'm half the man I used to be
A quarter the man I want to be
An eighth of the man that I should be
And I'm half the man I used to be
A quarter the man I wanna be
An eighth of the man that I should be
So will you have me

Because I'm half the man I used to be
A quarter the man I want to be
An eighth of the man that I should be
And I'm half the man I used to be
A quarter the man I want to be
An Eighth of the man that I should be
And I'm half the man I used to be
A quarter the man I want to be
An eighth of the man that I should be
So take me up on that mountain top and cut out my soul
