1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 [VERSE 1] You were a girl with impossible dreams And I was just living beyond my means The presidents warned and the generals cried So many good things shriveled and died And now like a hurricane, you come and you go And I pray the levies will ever hold 'Cause love is a battlefield and you are the gun Before I could draw, you already won Someday I'll be over you Oh, someday please come soon [Chorus] And the children outside think that life's just a game And I wish that the clouds will stop spelling your name You came like a soldier prepared for the thrill If this whiskey doesn't kill me, then you surely will [VERSE 2] So I move to Georgia to start all anew And the beautiful girls, they all look like you But they all want more and I'm just a drunk And all I can give, is never enough Someday this will all be done That someday can't come soon enough [Chorus] And the children outside think that life's just a game And I wish that the clouds will stop spelling your name You took off from me once you had your fill If this whiskey doesn't kill me, then you surely will [BRIDGE] Imagine my surprise when you walked in the night It felt like the bar turned out all the lights You said you were gone That your dreams were all drowned But I'm just a poor boy but in a new town We both found Jesus, in crazy ways We spent all our Sundays singing his praise Though all of our efforts We both stand-alone And suddenly this bar, felt like home [REFRAIN] Ooh, life's just a game Ooh, life's just a game Despite all my troubles I love you still If this whiskey doesn't kill me, then you surely will If this whiskey doesn't kill me, then you surely will
