Whiskey and Women and Money to Burn Lyrics
[Just Dancin’]
[Barry Tubb] [Come, on. Come on, boy!]
[Jo Harvey Allen] [Honey, you wanna stop it. Quit! Come on! Stop it! Stop! God, we’re just dancin’!]
It’s Saturday night—I just got my check
Been working all week breaking my neck
I put on my hat—picked up my spurs
Whiskey and women and money to burn
Whiskey and women and money to burn
A taste of the high life you’ll never return
From Whiskey and women and money to burn
My mom told me to stay in school
And always to live by the golden rule
I learned everything there was to learn
From whiskey and women and money to burn
Whiskey and women and money to burn
A taste of the high life, you’ll never return
From whiskey and women and money to burn
A preacher preached on the sins of man
You hold the world in the palm of your hand
I did not leave a stone unturned
For whiskey and women and money to burn
Whiskey and women and money and burn
A taste of the high life, you’ll never return
From whiskey and women and money to burn
Whiskey and women and money and burn
A taste of the high life, you’ll never return
From whiskey and women and money to burn
From whiskey and women and money to burn
[Jo Harvey Allen] [Honey, you wanna stop it. Quit! Come on! Stop it! Stop! God, we’re just dancin’!]
Been working all week breaking my neck
I put on my hat—picked up my spurs
Whiskey and women and money to burn
A taste of the high life you’ll never return
From Whiskey and women and money to burn
And always to live by the golden rule
I learned everything there was to learn
From whiskey and women and money to burn
A taste of the high life, you’ll never return
From whiskey and women and money to burn
You hold the world in the palm of your hand
I did not leave a stone unturned
For whiskey and women and money to burn
A taste of the high life, you’ll never return
From whiskey and women and money to burn
A taste of the high life, you’ll never return
From whiskey and women and money to burn
