Water to Whiskey
From Despair to Spirits: Praying for Whiskey's Healing Touch
Lyrics
I could dive in this lake
I could immerse myself in this lake
And swim in s hundred proof
And experience the intensity of a high-alcohol content
Then drink up all the pain
Then consume all the emotional distress
She put me through
Caused by the person I love
Lord If what they say is true
Expressing doubt about the abilities attributed to the Lord
All things that you can do
List of things the Lord can do
Walk on water, heal the sick
Highlighting miraculous abilities like walking on water and healing
And the blind, too
Emphasizing additional miraculous acts
Then I wonder if this prayin might do
Contemplating the effectiveness of prayer
Cause I could drink every bottle
Expressing the idea of consuming all available alcohol
From here to Tennessee
Extending the geographical range of alcohol consumption
Still not kill the burn of
Noting that drinking won't eliminate the emotional pain
What she's done to me
Describing the lingering emotional impact of a past relationship
Lord, I need a miracle
Requesting a divine intervention or miracle
To set my spirit free
Seeking liberation from emotional turmoil
Jesus please turn this water to whiskey
Pleading for a transformation of circumstances, using religious imagery
So, Jesus, move this tacklebox
Requesting Jesus' presence and assistance
Sit down here next to me
Inviting Jesus to sit and share in the speaker's pain
And tell me how you can end my misery
Asking for guidance on overcoming suffering
I 've taken my last shot
Expressing a sense of hopelessness and reaching a breaking point
Empty bottle, don't you see
Acknowledging the aftermath of excessive drinking
This Drunken sailor
Describing the degraded state of the speaker
Is all that's left of me
Highlighting the consequences of a self-destructive lifestyle
Would it help if I got on my knees
Considering a humble gesture as a plea for help
I could drink every bottle
Reiterating the ineffectiveness of alcohol in numbing emotional pain
From here to Tennessee
Repeating the geographical extent of alcohol consumption
Still not kill the burn of
Reiterating that drinking doesn't erase emotional scars
What she's done to me
Reemphasizing the enduring emotional impact of a past relationship
Lord, I need a miracle
Repeating the plea for divine intervention
To set my spirit free
Expressing the need for spiritual liberation
Jesus please turn this water to whiskey
Reiterating the plea for a transformative miracle
I could drink every bottle
Repeating the idea of alcohol's inability to alleviate emotional pain
From here to Tennessee
Repeating the geographical range of alcohol consumption
Still not kill the burn of
Reiterating that drinking doesn't erase emotional scars
What she's done to me
Reemphasizing the enduring emotional impact of a past relationship
Walk a sinner
Describing a transformation from a sinner to one who is set free
Who been set free
Seeking confirmation of spiritual liberation
Jesus can you turn this water to whiskey
Reiterating the plea for a transformative miracle, using religious imagery
