Bad Bad Whiskey

I went out last night
Tried to knock myself out
I got full of that bad bad whiskey
Almost started a fight
Chorus
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Made me loose my happy home
Made me loose my happy home
Whiskey and Women
Are drivin’ me out of my mind
Every time I get fooled with that whiskey
I think I’m doin’ fine
Chorus
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Bad, bad whiskey
Made me loose my happy home
Made me loose my happy home
Solo
Chorus

Prison Of Love
04:21

Don’t tie me down if you wanna let me go
Don’t lie me down, if you wanna know the truth
Oh I’ve been here before,
locked in your prison of love
Walls closing in, bars cold on my skin,
No one coming in to save me
You through me in the Fire, Like a spell I couldn’t break
Your love was like a poison You bite stronger than a king snake
And every time that I would try to leave
Oh you bring me to my knees
Walls closing in, bars cold on my skin,
No one coming in to save me
Bridge
Your like a vulture on my heart, your only desire
You turn gold to stone
, now the flames are burning higher
Higher and higher
You through me in the fire, Like a spell I couldn’t break
Your love was like a poison, your bite stronger than a king snake
And as all your dreams shatter like glass.
You see it’s only you here
Walls closing in, Bars cold on my skin,
No one coming in to save me

Angel Like you

Red heels and malibu, I see you
Shadows all around, that you think are your friends
Your lip stick on to0 tight and your smile too high
And every time you come home, you got a new guy
Chorus
And I can see it baby, in your eyes...
When you let your guard down
And the tears start to fly
Oh believe me when I tell you girl
That this ain't know life, that ain't know life, oh this ain't know life
For an angel like you
Heaven and hell, no tomorrow
Now your livin' each day, in your cage of sorrow
Oh just lying to yourself, sayin' it will be alright
And that tonight, tonight's the night
Chorus
And I can see it baby, in your eyes...
When you let your guard down
And the tears start to fly
Oh believe me when I tell you girl
That this ain't know life, that ain't know life, oh this ain't know life
For an angel like you
Solo
Chorus
And I can see it baby, in your eyes...
When you let your guard down
And the tears start to fly
Oh believe me when I tell you girl
That this ain't know life, that ain't know life, oh this ain't know life
For an angel like you

Midnight Comes Too Soon
04:58
|
|
||
|
Midnight comes too soon
When you've lost the moon
And nothing breaks the darkness
Only the bedroom light
And it's much too bright
It seems to shout at me
Chorus
And I can't help but pray
Though I don't know to who
But a constant yearning
Has taken a hold of me
I'm down in a hole so deep
And midnight comes too soon
Familiar sounds seem strange
Everything has changed It's like I'm dreaming
Out on the street somewhere I know you're there
And you're not crying
Chorus
And I can't help but pray
To what I don't know
To send me a reason
That keeps me from wasting away
Despair makes it's midnight creep
And midnight comes too soon
Bridge
At midnight a fallen star shot past the wind At midnight I start to feel a rage within

If You Go
Just Leave me one thing To understand
Why our love
Was turned to
This suitcase in your hand
Chorus
Now I drinking myself to sleep Waking up on different streets Dreaming of a life that could be With you baby
Was I so
So Bad?
Honey I never meant you no harm I can't move
From your eye's now
Tears rolling down my nose
Chorus 2
Now I'm sinking in this hole so deep Waking up on different streets Dreaming of a life that could be With you baby
Guitar solo
Chorus
Now I drinking myself to sleep
Waking up on different streets
Just dreaming of a life that could mean something baby

Caged up
Been too long since I spread my wings
Caged up
Can't you see that it ain't my thing
You got me bailed up here in this strange old world
I was born to fly now I'm living in hell
Caged up
Caged up
How did I end up in your hands
Caged up
How did I end up in your hands now
You got me bailed up here in this strange old world
I was born to fly now I'm living in hell

Straight Talker
05:41
|
|
||
|
I'm walking the line now
In this masquerade
I've been here before now
It don't seem to change
I hear her story
And I got to say
The sound is so sweet now
But she ain't what she says
Chorus
Straight talker
you ain't easy to find
Straight talker
Won't you ease my mind
I'm starting to fly now
But she's gone underground
looks like a nice ride
Don't shoot it down
You do me know favors
When you play me this way
Cause I need a woman
That means what she says
Chorus 2
Straight talker
you ain't easy to find
Straight talker
Won't you ease my mind
Straight talker
Don't you mean what you say
Straight talker
Won't you come my way
Solo
Chorus 2

Clouds roll over this late Missouri sky
The sun heats up and the dust begins to fly
Sweeping memories of you all around
Never thought you'd get to leaving this old town
I search for you every night in my dreams
Like some distant mirage you appear on the sea
Now I feel like I'm drowning on this dry land
I'm praying for water and strength just to stand
Chorus
Oh now I really got to know
Does heaven have a phone
Oh now I really got to know
Does heaven have a phone
As the sun sinks down in this valley of tears
I can see your face so calm and clear
And when I close my eyes I can see you in the stars
I feel you right beside me, we're strumming our Guitars
Chorus
Oh now I really got to know
Does heaven have a phone
Oh now I really got to know
Does heaven have a phone
Solo
Chorus
Oh now I really got to know
Does heaven have a phone
Oh now I really got to know
Does heaven have a phone

New Orleans Woman
04:36
|
|
||
|
You picked me up
Oh just to put me down
Now the word on the street
She's gone left town
Now I'm the last
The last to know
As the rain came down
I was all alone
Chorus
Oh New Orleans woman
Down by the bayou
Won't you bring your love, bring it back home
Oh New Orleans woman
Playin' that Zydeco
Won't you bring your love
Bring it back home
Her voice could heal your soul
And make your heart rock n' roll
Make a poor man rich
And another man whole
And by the swamp we had a garden
And loving it just kept it green
But now I spend my nights alone
Looking for my baby
Chorus
Oh New Orleans woman
Down by the bayou
Won't you bring your love, bring it back home
Oh New Orleans woman
Playin' that Zydeco
Won't you bring your love
Bring it back home
Solo
Chorus

Goodbye Baby
03:54
|
|||
|
My minds done, gone thinking about you baby
And the time has come that I'll be moving on
Oh this loneliness...
That crawls through my skin
And all the lies, when I know your with him
Chorus
Goodbye Baby, Baby Goodbye ( repeat )
That old train, keeps on moving me around
Still at every stop, I see your face in the crowd
Haunting me with your smile, to take me back
But I just shake my head...
Cause it's too late for that
Chorus
Goodbye Baby, Baby Goodbye ( repeat )
Solo
Chorus

Down In Mississippi
04:56
|
|||
|
As far back I can't remember
I either had to plow or hoe
One of those long ol' nine feet sacks
Standin' at the old turn row
Pre Chorus
Down in Mississippi. Down in Mississippi
Chorus
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
Nothing I got 'gainst Mississippi
It also was the home of my wife
Now I feel like a real, lucky man
To get away with my life
Pre Chorus
Down in Mississippi. Down in Mississippi
Chorus
Down in Mississippi where I was born
Down in Mississippi where I come from
They had a huntin' season on a rabbit
If you shoot him boy your goin' to jail
The season was always open on me
Nobody needed no bail
Down in Mississippi. Down in Mississippi

Snake Oil
by The White Rattlesnake
supported by 8 fans who also own “Bad Whiskey”
I've been a huge blues fan since seeing The Legend Stevie Ray in a small Austin theater in the early 80's. Never thought I'd end up in France 40 (ouch) year!s later to scratch that itch. The White Rattlesnake are serious, talented heavy bluesmen who remind me of a melding of SRV, 5 Horse Johnson & Left Lane Cruiser. With a sound all their own. With a band of 2... Shades of One Rusty Band... So yeah, LOVE me some French dirty, heavy rockin' blues.🤘Hell yeah!

Live At Blues On Broadbeach 2016
by The Lachy Doley Group
supported by 8 fans who also own “Bad Whiskey”
Every time I see Lachy Doley, I ask him about a live album! Can't believe this one's been sitting around for 4 years & I'm only seeing it now (I REALLY need to get out more!!)! Rich, earthy, warm, The LDG is like a party at an island getaway (who remembers those?)—or Woodstock or something—set aside your cares for awhile & lose yourself in the wall of sound... (I am in HEAVEN!!) #happyplace (Do we even need to listen to music beyond the Doley brothers?) PS: 'Stop Listening To The Blues' GORJUSS!
