Wood and Whiskey

When I was just a young boy On granddaddy's knee He'd tell me 'bout the good and bad And all the heartache he had seen He'd always say Try and stay away From tattoos and whiskey My daddy showed me rock 'n' roll And all that music in between I grabbed that six-string wood guitar And it's always been strapped to me Right or wrong I'd sing a song About wood and whiskey You can tell me 'bout the lord above And all I should believe I got my heart I got my soul They're tattooed on my sleeve When I grew up And I got old I guess I always knew I'd be proof Wood and whiskey My momma told me many times It's a hard life to live I did my best to listen close But I gave all I could give Now I know The way it goes Wood and whiskey You can tell me 'bout the lord above And all I should believe I got my heart I got my soul They're tattooed on my sleeve When I grew up And I got old I guess I always knew I'd be true Wood and whiskey Tattoos and whiskey
