Rhett Miller
Let The Whiskey Take The Reins
We had a smoke on the water
We laughed for all it was worth
And I called out your name but
You didn't say what you heard
We drove home in silence
The reception was not to be
I had a feelin'
You would be leavin' me
And it's so easy
To be a man in pain
Turn off your heart
And let the whiskey take the reins
I had a terrible vision
Of a world outside of this bar
But she keeps talkin' about walkin'
Away from where we are
And it's so easy
To be a man in pain
Turn off your heart
And let the whiskey take the reins
Yeah, it's so easy
To be a man in pain
Turn off your heart
And let the whiskey take the reins
We had a smoke on the water
We laughed for all it was worth
