lyrics

Well I lived this life of rock n roll
Lost everything save my soul
Fell on my face a thousand times are more
I never thought I could have it so good
Even when you’re living up in Hollywood
There’s a lot of things a man shouldn’t & should go without
Fighting through all these fears and doubts
Looking for a reason to put this bottle down
Well you know what I found out

She’s better than the whiskey
Better than a bottle and summer breeze
When I bring her to my lips
She’s brings me to my knees
So go and kiss me
Let’s get drunk on what could be
A Fantasy of her and me a place I’d rather be
Yeah she’s better than the whiskey

Some old man told when I was young
Better watch that stuff you putting on your tongue
And don’t you ever tell a woman you love her less you mean it
Cause your hands and feet well they lose count
And before you know it you’re an old man now
And you don’t want to wake up to a life of regret
Cause when you meet that someone and she gets you good
You start thinking of things you wish you would
Should have thought about…

She’s better than the whiskey
Better than a bottle and summer breeze
When I bring her to my lips
She’s brings me to my knees
So go and kiss me
Let’s get drunk on what could be
A Fantasy of her and me a place I’d rather be
Yeah she’s better than the whiskey

Anthony Leon is a storyteller, weaving his sermon of love and loss, feast & famine in with your own. . ... more
