lyrics

Cautionary tales of bad whiskey
Fall upon deaf ears ‘cause drunk ears don’t hear
They only listen to themselves
Talk and talk and talk
Talk and talk and talk

Well your lips are moving
But my mind’s a thousand miles away

Yes your lips are moving
But my mind is a thousand miles away

Feet are itching to go away
The legs agree and start moving that way
Hips wake up, begin to sway
As I’m walking out the door
Can’t handle the drunks anymore

Yes your lips are still moving
But I'm going a thousand miles away
A thousand miles
A thousand miles
Away
