The Whiskey and the Wind

She’s got a picture of him as a drifter
She knows all about his outlaw past
He couldn’t see that, gave up his freedom
And she didn’t even have to ask
As far as she knows, he’s over all of that
But she don’t know how close he’s come to going back
'Cause the whiskey and the wind are stronger than they’ve ever been
And up 'til now the two best friends he’s ever known
They keep whispering to him he don’t need her when he’s got them
So he prays to God that they don’t prove him wrong again
Or he’ll be gone again
With the whiskey and the wind
Stuck in Chicago, three feet of fresh snow
But he’s got a company credit card
The end of a long day, he eats in a café
Across the lobby from the hotel bar
And the devil on his shoulder
Reminds him he’s alone
As he walks past the bar
To his room to call back home
'Cause the whiskey and the wind are stronger than they’ve ever been
And up 'til now the two best friends he’s ever known
They keep whispering to him he don’t need her when he’s got them
So he prays to God that they don’t prove him wrong again
Or he’ll be gone again
With the whiskey and the wind
They keep whispering to him he don’t need her when he’s got them
So he prays to God that they don’t prove him wrong again
Or he’ll be gone again
With the whiskey and the wind
Oooh the whiskey and the wind
The whiskey and the wind
