Am, F, C, E

Well I've been a moonshiner
For 22 long years
I've spent all my money
on whiskey and beer
And if whiskey don't kill me
Then I don't know what will

Well I drink till I'm sick
And then I drink some more
Till I'm nude or obnoxious
Or flat on the floor
And I'll kiss all my friends
And I make sure they know
They're cared for and loved
Because you never know

When the world takes away
The one thing you have
Whether lovers or family
Friends that you had
So you make sure they know
We'll survive any weather
But We'll drink to the death
So we both die together

Chorus

She said to me
Oh daughter of mine
Why have you got
those tears in your eyes
And I said it's just sadness
Because I don't know
How much longer
This love stays aglow

So I drink every night
So I can forget
And then I can fall love
Yet again
And in the morning
I know she'll be there
I'm not leaving her
I'm staying right here

Chorus

I drink to turn
My insides to fire
They burn with a passion
For the one I desire
One shot for love
That always will last
And two shots for every
Chance that I had

Three shots for playing music all my life
And four shots for the things that keep me up at night
Five shots for every friend that I've loved
And six for the silence high up above
Seven for the thousand miles I've gone
Eight for the things always go wrong
Nine for the fuck of it, I'm already here
While ten is for death, I'll meet you there

Chorus
