Dixie Liquor And Beer

Yonder stands a man this man he's standing proud
I wonder where he's going wonder where he's been
Take me to the mountain top I'll shout it loud
Take me to the river I'll throw myself right in

All the beauty that surrounds me finds itself
Upon my kitchen table or in my kitchen sink
Found these words inscribed
upon my bathroom wall
"You can lead an ass to liquor
you cannot make him think"

I'm heading for that vinyl floor without a sound
I'm chicken little and the sky is falling down

Temper me with temperance and guide me toward
The path of higher living deliver me from gin
Take me to the top shelf where I'll find the truth
Salute the holy spirits when they come marching in
Dixie liquor and beer
