The Whiskey And The Wind
Torn Between Freedom and Love: Whiskey and Wind Chronicles
Lyrics
She´s got a picture of him as a drifter
She has a photo of him portraying him as a drifter.
she knows all about his outlaw past
She is aware of his rebellious and law-breaking history.
he couldn´t see that, gave up his freedom
He sacrificed his freedom, and she didn't need to ask for it.
she didn´t even have to ask.
She didn't request him to give up his freedom; he did it willingly.
as far as she knows, he´s over all of that
As far as she knows, he has moved past his troubled past.
but she doesn´t know how close he´s come to going back
She is unaware of how close he is to returning to his old ways.
Cause the whiskey and the wind
The influence of whiskey and the wind on his life.
are stronger than they´ve ever been
Whiskey and the wind have a stronger impact than ever before.
and not to now the two best friends he´s ever known
His two best friends are whiskey and the wind.
they keep whispering to him
Whiskey and the wind keep tempting him.
he don´t need her when he´s got them
He believes he doesn't need her when he has whiskey and the wind.
so he prays to God that they don´t prove him wrong again
He prays that whiskey and the wind don't lead him astray again.
or he´ll be gone again with the whiskey and the wind
Otherwise, he might leave again, influenced by whiskey and the wind.
Stuck in Chicago, three feet of fresh snow
He is in Chicago facing adverse weather conditions.
but he´s got a company creditcard
He has a company credit card with him.
the end of a long day, he eats in a cafe
After a long day, he eats alone in a cafe near the hotel bar.
across the lobby from the hotelbar
He is physically close but emotionally distant from the bar.
and the devil on his shoulder
The devil on his shoulder reminds him of his loneliness.
reminds him he´s alone
He is reminded that he is alone as he walks past the bar.
as he walks passed the bar,
He walks past the temptation of the bar.
to his room to call back home
He goes to his room to call back home.
Cause the whiskey and the wind
Reiteration of the impact of whiskey and the wind on his life.
are stronger than they´ve ever been
Whiskey and the wind have a stronger influence than ever.
and not to now the two best friends he´s ever known
His two best friends, whiskey and the wind, continue to affect him.
they keep whispering to him
Whiskey and the wind keep tempting him.
he don´t need her when he´s got them
He believes he doesn't need her when he has whiskey and the wind.
so he prays to God that they don´t prove him wrong again
He prays that whiskey and the wind don't lead him astray again.
or he´ll be gone again with the whiskey and the wind
Otherwise, he might leave again, influenced by whiskey and the wind.
oooh the whiskey and the wind
Repetition emphasizing the impact of whiskey and the wind.
the whiskey and the wind
