Sittin' on the front porch, face toward the hill Trail of years behind me and a night ahead to kill One glass of whiskey to ease my mind And another one to take it too far away to find Starin' up at the mountain like to drive me mad The mountain never changes, so I guess I better had One glass of whiskey to ease my mind And another one to take it too far away to find ♪ You know, I came to the city with a plan to get rich fast Next time I'll take the money and I'll put the plan last One glass of whiskey to ease my mind And another one to take it too far away to find These L.A. bars are friendly, small-town bars are rough I don't need no more unkindness, the memory's enough One glass of whiskey to ease my mind And another one to take it too far away to find And when I feel I'm sinkin' low I reach for the first friend I see All I need is to look at him and know He's sinkin' faster than me Well, life gets stranger, the more it goes on It's a wonder how I worry when nothin's really wrong One glass of whiskey to ease my mind And another one to take it too far away to find One glass of whiskey to ease my mind And another one to take it too far away to find
