Two Fingers of Whiskey (Feat. Jack White) Lyrics
Elton John
[Verse 1]
I cheated just to get on by
Yea, I cheated just to get on by
If I can't save my sellin' [?] ways
Gonna keep on getting high
I sleeping off the weekend run
Sleeping off the weekend run
When I'm awake i'm looking back
On all the ships I've sunk
[Chorus]
Two fingers of whiskey
Good ol' fashion rye
We shower bound for glory
And pour it best and dry
Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drowning the devil
Living in me
Living in me
[Verse 2]
I'm hanging on the hook of the moon
Hanging on that trevle [?] moon
If I don't get out of this battle
Lord you're gonna see me soon
Just like a dog, I wanna howl
Like an old dog, I wanna howl (woo)
You jump on [?] my aces
Who is gonna save me now?
[Chorus]
Two fingers of whiskey
Good ol' fashion rye
We shower bound for glory
And pour it best and dry
Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drowning the devil
Living in me
Living in me
[Chorus out]
Ohh, two fingers of whiskey
Good ol' fashion rye
We shower bound for glory
And pour it best and dry
Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drowning the devil
Living in me
Living in me
Living in me
I cheated just to get on by
Yea, I cheated just to get on by
If I can't save my sellin' [?] ways
Gonna keep on getting high
I sleeping off the weekend run
Sleeping off the weekend run
When I'm awake i'm looking back
On all the ships I've sunk
[Chorus]
Two fingers of whiskey
Good ol' fashion rye
We shower bound for glory
And pour it best and dry
Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drowning the devil
Living in me
Living in me
[Verse 2]
I'm hanging on the hook of the moon
Hanging on that trevle [?] moon
If I don't get out of this battle
Lord you're gonna see me soon
Just like a dog, I wanna howl
Like an old dog, I wanna howl (woo)
You jump on [?] my aces
Who is gonna save me now?
[Chorus]
Two fingers of whiskey
Good ol' fashion rye
We shower bound for glory
And pour it best and dry
Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drowning the devil
Living in me
Living in me
[Chorus out]
Ohh, two fingers of whiskey
Good ol' fashion rye
We shower bound for glory
And pour it best and dry
Two fingers of whiskey
That is all I need
To keep drowning the devil
Living in me
Living in me
Living in me
