lyrics

Got No Taste For The Liquor 5/99 © Brian Straub

Chorus

Well the first time that I met her, my heart it did moan
Ten long years on my owns’ a long time to be ‘lone


She had short red hair fine as the finest silk
When she run her hands through it I swear it’d make roses wilt

She got big, beautiful eyes deep as the deepest mine
Make a grown man fall to his knees and do most anything

Chorus

But I got no taste for the liquor boys and I got no taste for the wine
I am drunk and I am high ‘cause I know that sweet girls mine


We hit the road in my fifty ford across the country in the spring
We had a little trouble in Utah, but my heart it still rings

She got crazy ideas runnin’ all around her hear
I didn’t know ‘til I was robbin’ banks and some boy wound up dead

Chorus

Now I’m sittin’ here in this electric chair the judge says I must die
But I wouldn’t change not a single thing not even all her lies

She went back to her mama back home in Tennessee
And I know I’d die twice if she found another fool like me

Chorus (2x)
