Hemingway's Whiskey

Lyrics

Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
 Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
 He did not like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
 'Cause was bad enough for him, you know it's bad enough for me
 Hemingway's whiskey
 ♪
 You know it's tough out there, a good muse is hard to find
 Livin' one word to the next, one line at a time
 Now there's more to life than whiskey
 There's more to words than rhyme
 Sometime nothin' works, sometimes nothin' shines
 Like Hemingway's whiskey
 ♪
 Sail away, sail away as the day grows dim
 Live hard, die hard, this one's for him
 Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
 Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
 He did not like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
 If it's bad enough for him, you know it's bad enough for me
 Hemingway's whiskey
