Hemingway's Whiskey (Live)

I love the book, The Old Man and the Sea

Because it reminds me of the relationship that I had with my grandfather

And that's why I cut this song

Goes like this

Hemingway's whiskey

Warm and smooth and mean

Even when it burns

It'll always finish clean

He didn't like it watered down

He took it straight up and neat

If it was bad enough for him

You know it's bad enough for me

Hemingway's whiskey

Oh, it's tough out there

A good muse is hard to find

Living one word to the next

One line at a time

There's more to life than whiskey

There's more to words than rhyme

Sometimes nothin' works

Sometimes nothin' shines

Like Hemingway's whiskey

Hemingway's whiskey

Sail away, sail away

Three sheets to the wind

Live hard, die hard

This one's for him

Hemingway's whiskey

Warm and smooth and mean

Even when it burns

It'll always finish clean

He didn't like it watered down

He took it straight up and neat

If it was bad enough for him

You know it's bad enough for me

Hemingway's whiskey

Play a little while Kenny Greenburg

Thank you for letting us do that everybody

God bless
