Jake Schreiber - Whiskey & The Water

Starin' down an empty street
Between here and home
So many promises broken here
That'll never show
Aren't you tired of walkin'
From the back parts of your mind
You're so scared of something
You thought you'd never find
And I've been tryin' to find my baby
Between the whiskey and the water
And all these cards that you've been dealin'
You can hold a little longer
I've tried love and I've tried stealin'
But these nights are getting longer
I swear I'll die in the crossfire
Between the whiskey and the water
Baby, don't you ever wanna
Run away from home
But all the outlaws stole your dreams
And left your gold
Where did you cut your teeth, baby
Where'd you learn to fight
If you never got tough
How are you gonna stay alive
And I've been tryin' to find my baby
Between the whiskey and the water
And all these cards that you've been dealin'
You can hold a little longer
I've tried love and I've tried stealin'
But these nights are getting longer
I swear I'll die in the crossfire
Between the whiskey and the water
Walkin' down a lonely street
Used to be paved of gold
Now it's just self-called rebels
Livin' to be bought and sold
Keep your head straight Johnny
Don't you cross that line
They'll never put out the fire
In those American eyes
And I've been tryin' to find my baby
Between the whiskey and the water
And all these cards that you've been dealin'
You can hold a little longer
I've tried love and I've tried stealin'
But these nights are getting longer
I swear I'll die in the crossfire
Between the whiskey and the water
And I've been tryin' to find it, baby
You're the whiskey in the water
And I can tell the way you're leanin'
This drink's gettin' a little stronger
If this love's packed its bags, I'm leavin'
I won't hold you any longer
Stick to your guns in the crossfire
Between the whiskey and the water
