Like Patsy Would Lyrics by Iron & Wine

LORI

2022

[Verse 1]
If it comes from the whiskey, pour me a drink
If it comes from the heartache, let me feel the sting
If it comes from the spirits, set 'em loose in this room
Either way tonight, it's just me and the truth

[Chorus]
Wanna pray like Jesus is listenin'
Wanna play like I'm made of strings on wood
Wanna write it down like Hemingway
Like it's the last thing I'll ever say
Try to sing it like Patsy would

[Verse 2]
Sometimes, it's a blessing, sometimes, it's a curse
When it keeps me up all night lookin' for the worst
Sometimеs, a pen knows just what to say
Spills out like a waterfall on a clеan white page

[Chorus]
Wanna pray like Jesus is listenin'
Wanna play like I'm made of strings on wood
Wanna write it down like Hemingway
Like it's the last thing that I'll ever say
Try to sing it like Patsy would
Try to sing it like Patsy would
