Elton John - 2 Fingers Of Whiskey Lyrics






I cheated just to get on by
Yea, I cheated just to get on by
If I can't save my sinning ways
Gonna keep on getting high

I'm sleeping off a weekend drunk
I'm sleeping off a weekend drunk
When I'm awake I'm looking back
At all the ships I sunk

Two fingers of whiskey
Good old fashioned rye
Wish I were bound for glory
And prohibition dry

Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drownin the devil
Living in me
Living in me

I'm hanging on the hook of the moon
I'm hanging on that crescent moon
If I don't get out of this bottle
Lord you're gonna see me soon

Just like a dog, I wanna howl
Like an old dog, I wanna howl
Used up all of my aces
Who is gonna save me now?

Two fingers of whiskey
Good old fashioned rye
Wish I were bound for glory
And prohibition dry

Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drownin the devil
Living in me
Living in me

Two fingers of whiskey
Good old fashioned rye
Wish I were bound for glory
And prohibition dry

Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drowning the devil
Living in me
Living in me
Living in me

    Elton John and Jack White working together is something I never thought I needed.... so great.

    K-152 Stratotone (maybe)

  24. T.... ....

    they should make an album together!

    T.... ....

    That would be so awesome

    T.... ....

    With Bernie Taupin on board to co-write the songs, oh hell yes!
    Please make it so Sir Elton!

    T.... ....

    Definitely!!

  25. T.... M....

    Elton’s sequence in American Epic, nestled amongst others by artists as diverse as Willie Nelson and Nas, shows him composing the music to a newly delivered lyric from Bernie Taupin and then recording the song in one go, via a single antique microphone on to a reassembled electrical sound recording system from the 1920s (“I thought it was an espresso machine!” laughed Bernie upon seeing the device for the first time), straight to disc.

    T.... M....

    Tom Markel No. Way.

  26. R.... M....

    It good to see Elton doing music worth listening to again. back to his R&B roots. not today's R&B, real R&B

  27. N.... C....

    Elton John can be such a prima Donna but is so so talented...I guess that's why we love his work..
