"Whiskey And Water" lyrics

Rebecca deals blackjack at the Grand Casino
She never looks nobody in the eye
Twenty-one and the odds are in her favor
But damn, it sure don't feel that way tonight

She wanted to be a ballerina
Spinning around to a never-ending song
But all that Daddy taught her is to mix whiskey with her water
So the mornings don't come on so strong

Shirley over there is pushing sixty
She's heard every dirty joke and pickup line
And Becca swears to God she's gonna get out
Before she gets that vacant look there in her eyes

She wanted to be somebody's princess
Leaving this shit town on a white horse and staying gone
But all that Daddy taught her is to mix whiskey with her water
So the mornings don't come on so strong

She goes home, counts her tips, and lights a Camel
No, she didn't do too good for Friday night
Pours Maker's on the rocks with a splash of water
And drinks away another day of this so-called life

She's her father's daughter, taking whiskey with her water
So the mornings don't come on so strong
So the mornings don't come on so strong
