One of these days, I'm gonna wake up. With somethin' to lose and I'll get over you. I'll walk outside, I'll look at the sky. For the first time through clear, blue eyes. My head won't hurt, my heart won't ache. I'll forgive myself for my mistakes. And I'll be good as new if I can just get through. My whiskey years. One of these nights when I'm feelin' brave You'll come back around and I'm gonna put you down. I might start to shake but I'll find the strength To stand up straight and I'll walk away. And I won't look back, you won't see If I fall apart when you follow me I'll be good as new if I can just get through My whiskey years Bridge: My whiskey years, my wilder days The crazy times when I was stoned out of my mind When I could sit and sip away, all the hurt and the pain Whom I'm tryin', I'm still goin' through My whiskey years (Repeat Bridge) My whiskey years
