about

Though they may be related, do not confuse whiskey with bourbon. I've never been to Kentucky, but some times I think part of my music lives there. Or at least has several relatives that it likes to visit.

This was written for Circle of Titles II for a Song Fight! sidefight.

lyrics

have you met my old friend Jim?
Kentucky-born and good to me
and have you met the twins?
from a shady Clermont street

ain't got nothin' left to lose
an' that's the way it oughta be
in the gutter can't crawl no lower
after all what she done to me

i got bourbon
i got you two
i got hammered
i got screwed

but i deserve half these kicks
on a bender, i'm an SOB
but the other half're just outta spite
on a bender, she's just as mean as me

she got bourbon
she got those two
we got hammered
i got screwed

well i'm a man of simple tastes
my truck is old, my dog is new
he's more loyal than i'll every be
but less fun than my latest bruise

i got from bourbon
i got from you two
i got hammered
i got screwed

oh, she got bourbon
she got those two
we got hammered
i got screwed
