[Verse 1]
I cheated just to get on by
Yea, I cheated just to get on by
If I can't save my sinnin' whys
Gonna keep on getting high

I'm sleeping off the weekend drunk
Sleeping off the weekend drunk
When I'm awake I'm looking back
On all the ships I've sunk

[Chorus]
Two fingers of whiskey
Good ol' fashioned rye
Wish I was bound for glory
And prohibition dry
Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drowning the devil
Living in me
Living in me

[Verse 2]
I'm hanging on the hook of the moon
Hanging on that treble moon
If I don't get out of this battle
Lord, you're gonna see me soon
Just like a dog, I wanna howl
Like an old dog, I wanna howl (woo)
Used up all of my aces
Who is gonna save me now?

[Chorus]
Two fingers of whiskey
Good ol' fashioned rye
Wish I was bound for glory
And prohibition dry
Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drowning the devil
Living in me
Living in me

[Chorus out]
Two fingers of whiskey
Good ol' fashioned rye
Wish I was bound for glory
And prohibition dry
Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drowning the devil
Living in me
Living in me
