Richard Melvin Brown - Whiskey Creek Lyrics

He sort of lost himself one year had nowhere else to turn
And all those bridges he had built there wasn't one he didn't burn
And all the things he'd counted on everything that saw him through
He turned his back on all of that there was nothing else that he could do

Then he headed off to whiskey creek the last place left in town
The only place that he had found that wouldn't let him down
'Cause whiskey creek will be your home from now until the end
It'll pick you up and give you hope always treat you like a friend

He tried so many times he'd said to not get lost this way
Tried being strong and holding on but he just gave up one day
'Cause life had knocked him round a bit I guess one too many times
And going on seemed just to hard made no sense to keep on trying

So he headed off to whiskey creek the last place left in town
The only place that he had found that wouldn't let him down
'Cause whiskey creek will be your home from now until the end
It'll pick you up and give you hope but it's sure as hell no friend

He finally made it home I guess found a place where he could hide
Found a place where he felt safe at least until he died
Yeah whiskey creek it called him home was the last place left in town
He thought that it would keep him safe but it only let him down

'Cause whiskey creek will be your home from now until the end
It'll pick you up and give you hope right up until the end
Yeah whiskey creek will be your home from now until the end
It'll pick you up and give you hope right up until the end
Yeah whiskey creek will give you hope but it's sure as hell no friend
