Robbie Fulks - 'One Glass Of Whiskey' (Official Music)

(Robbie Fulks) Lorne Rall Music (ASCAP)

Sittin’ on the front porch
Face toward the hill
A trail of years behind me
And a night ahead to kill

One glass of whiskey to ease my mind
And another one to take it too far away to find

Starin’ up at the mountain
Like to drive me mad
The mountain never changes
So I guess I better had

One glass of whiskey to ease my mind
And another one to take it too far away to find

You know I came to the city
With a plan to get rich fast
Next time I’ll take the money
And I’ll put the plan last

One glass of whiskey to ease my mind
And another one to take it too far away to find

These L.A. bars are friendly
Small-town bars are rough
I don’t need no more unkindness
The memory’s enough

One glass of whiskey to ease my mind
And another one to take it too far away to find

And when I feel I’m sinkin’ low
I reach for the first friend I see
All I need is to look at him and know
He’s sinkin’ faster than me...

Well, life gets stranger
The more it goes on
It’s a wonder how I worry
When nothin’s really wrong

One glass of whiskey to ease my mind
And another one to take it too far away to find

One glass of whiskey to ease my mind
And another one to take it too far away to find

Woo-woo

Robbie is a real master at getting that "high lonesome" sound, as well as being a clever songwriter. I will definitely be excited to hear the rest of the album. Nice tune!
