WHISKEY ON ICE
(Hank Williams Jr / Bobby Keel / Tony Stampley)


Hank Williams Jr. - 1982





Woke up this mornin' tastin' Jim Beam
Holdin' the answer to some old boys dream
Got a bad reputation, guess I made life wild
Like my whiskey on ice and my women on fire

From Memphis to Mobile I've played all the dives
Lord knows I'm lucky just to still be alive
I'm an all around rebel and I won't be denied
With my whiskey on ice and my women on fire

I like my whiskey on ice, my women on fire
I like a good soundin' guitar and I won't be called a liar
Spent many long nights with a burning desire
Pour my whiskey on ice and my women on fire

Some folks talk about me, guess they always will
They think it's been an easy ride and all been down hill
What they don't think about what they don't realize
Is the shoes that I'm fillin' are a mighty big size

One night in Nashville tried to take my life
'Cause my friends had all left me and so had my wife
But a fast ride to Florida made me realize
I had some whiskey on ice and some Florida women on fire

I like my whiskey on ice, my women on fire
I like a good soundin' guitar and I won't be called a liar
Spent many long nights with a burning desire
Pour my whiskey on ice and my women on fire

And I like my whiskey on ice, my women on fire
I like a good feelin' guitar and I won't be called a liar
I may grow old but I'll never grow tired
Of my whiskey on ice and my women women on fire
