Hemingway's whiskey
Warm and smooth in me
Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
He didn't like it watered down, he took straight up and neat
If it was bad enough for him
You know it's bad enough for me
Hemingway's whiskey

Oh it's tough out there
Good music's hard to find
Livin' one word to the next
One line at a time
There's more to life than whiskey
There's more to words than rhyme
Sometimes nothin' works
Sometimes nothin' shines
Like Hemingway's whiskey

Sail away, sail away
Three sheets to the wind
Live hard, die hard
This one's for him

Hemingway's whiskey
Warm and smooth in me
Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
Didn't like it watered down, he took straight up and neat
If it was bad enough for him
You know it's bad enough for me
Hemingway's whiskey

Hemingway's whiskey
Hemingway's whiskey
