Spin Doctors - If The River Was Whiskey Lyrics






Woke up this morning
The vision in my head
Looks so good
I flipped right back to bed

Stream run to the ocean
Ocean run down to the sea
If the river was whiskey
You'd have no trouble drowning me

Haven't felt this good
Since I don't know when
Whatever bit ends up dead
Wanna do it all again

Stream run to the ocean
Ocean run down to the sea
If the river was whiskey
You'd have no trouble drowning me

Dollar in my pocket
Good girl on my arm
Nothing gonna stop me short
Of an atomic bomb

Stream run to the ocean
Ocean run down to the sea
If the river was whiskey
You'd have no trouble drowning me

I feel so fine
Mama, please don't make me blue
If you ever leave me
I'm gonna come with you

Stream run to the ocean
Ocean run down to the sea
And if the river was whiskey
You'd have no trouble drowning me

And if the river was whiskey
You'd have no trouble drowning me

Spin Doctors If The River Was Whiskey Comments
  1. B.... ....

    0:14 that voice crack tho

  2. C.... S....

    One, two princes kneel before you
    That's what I said now
    Princes, princes who adore you
    Just go ahead now...oh wait. Wrong song. Lol

  3. H.... G....

    nice to have them back, go on Spin Boys

  4. S.... R....

    wie passend... https://www.ksta.de/panorama/usa-45-000-faesser-jim-beam-verbrennen-in-lagerhalle---whiskey-fliesst-in-fluss-32801414

    S.... R....

    Do you have an english translation?

  5. T.... ....

    I can't believe this band is still together. I thought they vanished considering how I never heard a single thing from them after thier two big hits.

  6. D.... H....

    FUN track !!

  7. #.... ....

    I am just discovering this song now. It’s a shame it took me 5 years to discover this.

  8. J.... H....

    It took me years to find this!? Lead singer still hot music still jammin. Love it getting the album.

  9. B.... h....

    Geeez, I didn't knew you guys were still around. I used to get a kick out of your music. I specially loved the homebelly groove CD and Pocket full of kriptonite <3 YEAH!

    B.... h....

    Homebelly Groove one of the best kept secrets of music. Phenomenal

  10. M.... S....

    That was ruf...

  11. C.... S....

    Love y'all!!

  12. r.... ....

    where is the singer hippy that sang the two princes?

  13. J.... J....

    Chris Barron strikes me as a genuinely happy guy who loves his band and his music.

  14. N.... L....

    omg the main singer looks like Jeremy Corbyn

    N.... L....

    the main singer looks like Layne Staley of the Alice in Chains

    N.... L....

    I don't think you've ever seen a picture of Layne Staley to make that comment.

  15. M.... C....

    Great band, great song, great album. A perfect combination. Great to have you back guys!!!! Regards from Argentina.

  16. I.... H....

    His voice sounds great now that it has aged, not that it wasn't good before, but just has a real nice tone.

  17. V.... ....

    Catchy AF.
    If you don't tap your toes or move at all to this song, you may very well be dead.

  18. L.... M....

    I like that the video isn't filled with twenty year-olds

    L.... M....

    Sad that your line in the sand for if a video is fun or not is based on the age of the people in it. If they made the video more true to life for a club like that in the last decade or so it would be stocked with at least 50% twenty-something hipsters hanging on the knowledge of the older band members.

  19. S.... /....

    Who else is here from game grumps?

  20. J.... W....

    thanks Dan

  21. R.... B....

    where all the lovelies at?

  22. R.... ....

    Soon every spin doctors song will be infested by lovelies

    R.... ....

    It's once of services Danny does :D

    R.... ....

    That's not an incorrect statement.

  23. B.... B....

  40. T.... ....

    spin doctors doing blues...this is AMAZING to me

  41. L.... T....

    Spin Doctors? you gotta be kiddin'  wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard it myself. Not bad for a bunch of New York City boys! This some good shit!

  42. A.... S....

    This album hit #5 in Billboard Blues Chart... great to see they are still around, shame for them getting ignored completely

  43. L.... T....

    Man, these guys look the worse for wear.  Guess they weren't kidding about the whiskey...

  44. J.... J....

    One of my top fav Spin Doctor songs!

  45. t.... ....

    Say what you will, but Eric Schenkman's a hell of guitarist.

  46. K.... T....

    Even when the guys are older, this is awesome... <3

  47. L.... W....

    Sounds a hell of a lot like Skynyrd's Call Me the Breeze.

    L.... W....

    Jj cale

    L.... W....

    @Thomas Jackson My mistake. I wasn't familiar with the original.

    L.... W....

    Same feel, same chords, almost the same melody...

  48. C.... M....

    I´M ILLY, PLEASE, CALL DOCTOR (SPIN)

  49. y.... ....

    The Spin Doctors are one of the bands which have aged well, they evolved into a more blues-y sound, which I love 

  50. s.... ....

  51. G.... B....

    It's so good to have you back guys!!!!

  69. n.... ....

    Man, I loved you guy! Glad to hear a new Spin Doctors tune. Nice work. (Actually, to be honest, the tune sounds like a b-side from the Swingers sound track, but still.)

  70. D.... H....

    See it's funny because I feel stupid as soon as I mention that this song is done by the Spin Doctors.

  71. S.... M....

    Like a disco in a care home.

  72. T.... ....

    It's got a nice 60's feel :D

  73. V.... A....

    Good song, but I def feel like I sound stupid when I mention this song to other people. Indicative instead of using the subjunctive...

  74. B.... T....

    Excellent video clip, I like it. Low budget full of joy..

  75. B.... ....

    cool to see them back ... but ... the singer surely knows how to swim in whiskey ... my god ... he's only 45 but seems to be 60 years old ... i firstly thought it was his grandfather ... damn ...

  76. M.... K....

    1 man knows how to swim in Whiskey River :D

  77. O.... ....

    Awesome and sad at the same time...am I really that old now...damn.

  78. T.... F....

  81. f.... ....

    GREAT modern blues.

  82. C.... A....

  83. L.... M....
