Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean

He didnt like it watered down, took it straight up and neat

Ah, its tough out there, a good muse is hard to find

Livin 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 nothing works, sometimes nothing shine
