The Prelude

Are you looking at me or are you staring at me pint
I'll tell you a true story stranger I could talk all night
About a place that's in my heart but map and atlas tell ye that is further
We drank around the old oak bar down at the Whiskey Haw
A hundred eyes where there but none could tell you what they saw
A pint in every hand but not a thought in any head about tomorrow
We learned to read and write when we were down the Whiskey Haw
We started all the fights when we were down the Whiskey Haw
We thought we saw the light when we were down the Whiskey Haw
We fuckin' laughed all night when we were down the Whiskey Haw
We drank from 8 to 10 to 4 to 3 to 6 to 1 to 4
And we seen it all at the Whiskey Haw
We talked of all our hopes and we drank away our fears
We couldn't hear a word with all the ringing in our ears
The band went through the set and as we sang we all forget where we all came from
Just give us a penny for your thoughts and a pint for all your lies
I'll tell you a true story stranger I could talk all night
About a place that's in me heart I wish I hadn't left behind at all
And even though I'm far away I really must confess
I haven't had a decent pint in seven years I guess
You tell me all your secrets and the things you think you saw
But they're nothing like the legend of the famous Whiskey Haw
We drank from 8 to 10 to 4 to 3 to 6 to 1 to 4 to 7 to 9 to 3 to 5 to 2 to 12 to�..
And we seen it all at the Whiskey Haw
