Shot of Whiskey

It's totally nuts, child

Ellie Mae, have I gone crazy or committed a crime?

I just say what you know is true in your gut, child

But if I hope to get paid, I better start laying it between the lines

I try to hold back

But then for holding back

I come under attack

I try to talk right

But if I tell the truth

They're gonna wanna fight

Ellie Mae, Ellie Mae

How I hate being famous in the firin' line

I just want to hold you

Oh I want to hold you

Shot of whiskey

Ten more to follow

Yeah, shot of whiskey

Ten more to follow

Woah woah

And I want to hold you

Oh I want to hold you

Shot of whiskey

Ten more to follow

Woah woah

You're totally nuts, child

Ellie Mae, you'll never be famous, but you'll always be fine

And every day you pull me out of a rut, child

You got a way how you lay it out what I oughta say that makes it hard to mind

I try to hold back

But then for holding back

I come under attack

I try to talk right

But if I tell 'em the truth

You know what they're gonna write

Ellie Mae, Ellie Mae

You know I hate being famous in the firin' line

I just want to hold you

Oh I want to hold you

Shot of whiskey

Ten more to follow

Yeah, shot of whiskey

With ten more to follow

Woah woah
