lyrics
I love you more than whiskey,
Though its true I do love whiskey,
I love you more than whiskey and I thought that you should know
That even if the worlds distillers
Offered me endless refillers
I’d still probably stick with you.
I thought you'd like to know.
I love you more than other women,
Though I do love other women,
More than any other single woman that I know.
And even if a coalition
Posed a poly-proposition
I’d still probably stick with you
I thought you’d like to know.
I love you more than money, honey,
‘Cause let’s face it, who needs money?
You’re the only salary that I would work to earn.
‘Cause love has higher interest rates
And isn’t taxed like large estates
And I’ll still have my savings
On the day the banks all burn.
And they will burn.
I love you more than music,
Though I’d hate to have to choose, it would be
Difficult to say the least, I hope you understand.
‘Cause lovers can and will deceive you
In the end they always leave you
But when you’re drowning, darling
Music is dry land.
I love you more than whiskey,
I love you more than other women
I love you more than money, and I know that that ain’t wrong.
And if I ever change my mind,
And it’s true I change it all the time,
Well I’ll still have this music
And I’ll write another song.
