Story Behind The Song
I got the hook from a friend one night while we were out having a drink and listening to music.
Song Description
The first track is ?Wish I Didn't Like Whiskey.? This song pokes fun at a drinking habit, and is typically funny because of the words and pace. This is where blues and country intersect and have many similarities. With their sob stories and good lovin? gone bad tales, it all ends up in a song. Instead of crying, the person writing the song ends up laughing, or the listener does - in either case it applies.

Lyrics
Wish I Didn?t Like Whiskey
When I go out to have a good time
I find them standing all in line
Inviting me out on thin ice
And once again I didn?t think twice
chorus
Wish I didn?t like whiskey, wish it didn?t like me
I don?t need friends, no not like these
They revel in my misery
I wish I didn?t like whiskey, wish it didn?t like me
Where?d I meet them, how long?s it been
I just can?t turn my back on them
They?re always there when I hit the ground
Let me tell you neighbor, it?s a long way down
chorus
Maybe someday I?ll find an old barstool
Where they won?t know I?ve played the fool
But the only truth in this poor boy?s life
Is I can run but I just can?t hide
