From the recording Out in the Country
A once naive woman is no longer fooled by her first-love’s deceitful affection for her. She tells an unraveling story of truth and consequence from his evil game.
Lyrics
You had the pedal to the metal, bouquet in hand, you played the suave, prefect kind of
man, said you stood firm, but the ground was sand, for as long as you were with me
It was pale but true, I could see right through, my bank won’t buy that “hundred proof”
I poured it right out as soon as I knew...you were just watered down whiskey
Came on strong but soon it hit me
Your own bottle knows you’re guilty
I see through it, yeah, you won’t get me
You’re watered down whiskey
I don’t need the weak to sweep me off my feet, got no heart to hold me, it’s clear to see
Had your hand complete with diamond & queen...but you watered down the whiskey
Well, you got hypnotized on some cheatin’ time
So, you wined and dined to make her fall in line
Well, she was blind, but even she could find…
Your watered down whiskey
It was pale but true, she could see right through, her bank won’t buy that “hundred proof”
She poured it right out, as soon as she knew…
So, how’d you like that little twist of lime, you might as well cry...in your watered down whiskey
