Nothin’ ever tastes as rich as this

[Verse 1] You would not believe your eyes If ten thousand whiskey flies Poured down me glass as I fell off to sleep They’d be buzzin’ through the air Spillin’ spirits everywhere You’d think me mad, but I would sit and weep [Chorus] I’d like to make meself believe That all the world drinks slowly It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay dry than take a sip ‘Cause nothin’ ever tastes as rich as this [Verse 2] It’s hard to say I’d skip A thousand drams from bug-filled sips As they danced around and taught me how to reel A jig above me bed With stout drips on me head A barrel swings, its rope near at its end [Chorus] I’d like to make meself believe That all the world drinks slowly It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay dry than take a sip ‘Cause nothin’ ever tastes as rich as this I take a sip [Verse 3] I leave me tavern door unlatched ‘Cause I feel like a drinkin’ match Why count the sheep when I can count me pints? To ten thousand whiskey flies, I toast with bleary eyes They waved goodbye, I cried into the night But I’ve got a few in jars In case me dreams drift far I’ll open one and drink beneath the stars [Chorus] I’d like to make meself believe That all the world drinks slowly It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay dry than take a sip ‘Cause nothin’ ever tastes as rich as this [Chorus] I’d like to make meself believe That all the world drinks slowly It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay dry than take a sip ‘Cause nothin’ ever tastes as rich as this [Chorus] I’d like to make meself believe That all the world drinks slowly It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay dry than take a sip Because me dreams are floatin’ in the mist
