"Whiskey & Water" lyrics - SHANE SMITH & THE SAINTS

American Dream
It's real, it's somethin' I've seen
And it all began as a no name band
With a fiddle and rock and roll

And cigarette smoke
She's the devil, she's someone I know
She whispers to me through the laughter
And every now and then I just give in

Whiskey and water
Girls without fathers
A headache tomorrow
A Hail Mary to make me feel sane
What happens Dear Mother, the day I forget how to pray?
How to pray

We shot the arrows
We chased 'em down like old vaqueros
We drove through the night in the darkness
Until the cold was just too much to take

It broke ya down
The thought of us racin' through towns
I swore it would just last the season
But God knows that winter's long gone
It's long gone

Whiskey and water
And Girls without fathers
When she leaves tomorrow
A Hail Mary will make me feel sane
But what happens Dear Mother, the day I forget how to pray?
How to pray

And that next town's lights get to shinin' so bright
But I find myself feelin' home
And I'm sorry

Whiskey and water
Girls without fathers
And we leave tomorrow
A Hail Mary will make me feel sane
Please help me Dear Mother, to never forget how to pray
How to pray
