"Whiskey And The Dog" lyrics

You say that you're mad and you wanna leave
You've had enough and you wanna be free
I never dreamed how far we would fall
Fighting and fussing over nothing at all
The kids down the hallway, they don't understand
The problems and pressures on a woman and a man
You see things your way, I see things mine
I've never been one to walk the line
So take everything but the whiskey and the dog

Take these memories, take our kids
Take my soul, it's all I got left
Take all the money, take your time
Take my dreams, I'm sure I'll be fine
Take that car out there in the drive
Drive it to the hotel and you stay the night
Take your pills, I'll smoke my grass
Take your opinion, shove it right up your ass
Take everything but the whiskey and the dog

How many times do I gotta say
How much I love you but I ain't gonna change?
I'm gonna be the way that I am
Out all damn night with a drink in both hands
You knew who I was, the devil knows my name
I drink too much, got no one to blame
Your daddy was right, your mama was too
I know they'll be happy when they find out we're through
So take everything but the whiskey and the dog

Take these pieces of my broken heart
Take granddaddy's Chevy hell I hope it'll start
Take all the pictures, take your ring
Take that white dress, hell it don't mean a thing
Take that car out there in the drive
Drive it to the hotel and you stay the night
Take your pills, I'll smoke my grass
Take your opinion, shove it right up your ass
Take everything but the whiskey and the dog

Take that car out there in the drive
Drive it to the hotel and you stay the night
Take your pills, I'll smoke my grass
Take your opinion, shove it right up your ass
Take everything but the whiskey and the dog
Take everything but the whiskey and the dog
