I was destined for greatness It's what my mother once told me But now that i'm older The future don't see the way she sees Whiskey and the blues Tissues i can't use They don't dry it up I don't use 'em no more
Alice oh alice Where have ya been There's light at the window And it slowly pinches in Alice oh alice Time and misery It moves rather slowly It's the only way i see
I was destined for greatness It's the way it shoulda been But now that i'm older I don't know what i wound up in
Oh whiskey and the blues A language i can't use It don't dry it up No one listens anymore
Alice oh alice Where have ya been It's light at the window And it slowly pinches in Alice oh alice Misery and time It moves rather slowly But at least i know it's mine
Alice oh alice Where have ya been It's light at the window And it slowly pinches in Alice oh alice Misery and time It moves so slowly But i know for sure it's mine
