Streams Of Whiskey Lyrics

Streams Of Whiskey lyrics

Last night as I slept, I dreamt I met with Behan

I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day

When questioned on his views on the crux of life's philosophies

He had but these few clear and simple words to say



I am going, I am going

Any which way the wind may be blowing

I am going, I am going

Where streams of whiskey are flowing



I have cursed, bled and sworn, jumped bail and landed up in jail

Life has often tried to stretch me but the rope always was slack

And now that I've a pile, I'll go downtown to Chelsea

I'll walk in on my feet but I'll leave there on my back



Because I am going, I am going

Any which way the wind may be blowing

I am going, I am going

Where streams of whiskey are flowing, yeah



Oh, the words that he spoke seemed the wisest of philosophies

There's nothing ever gained by a wet thing called a tear

When the world is too dark and I need the light inside of me

I'll walk into a bar and drink fifteen pints of beer



Because I am going, I am going

Any which way the wind may be blowing

I am going, I am going

Where streams of whiskey are flowing



I am going, I am going

Any which way the wind may be blowing

I am going, I am going

Where streams of whiskey are flowing

Where streams of whiskey are flowing

Where streams of whiskey are flowing
