There ain't nothing gonna keep me honest But a gun to my head And a swig of that fire water yeah There ain't nothing hot enough to melt this Heart of mine in my chest But a swig of that fire water So light me up With that sweet fire water Lay me down in the fiery lake Pour me out til I'm dead and gone And drown my soul Drown my soul Drown my soul In that water I learned real young that I had a taste for Lightnin sauce from grandpa's stash Snuck a swig of that fire water Mamas tell your child not to hold that Dangerous flame in his hands 'Fore he's swiggin on that fire water So light me up With that sweet fire water Lay me down in the fiery lake Pour me out til I'm dead and gone And drown my soul So light me up With that sweet fire water Lay me down in the fiery lake Pour me out til I'm dead and gone And drown my soul Drown my soul Drown my soul... Though I try to keep my lips dry now They still find the rim of that glass One more swig of that fire water
