Lyrics The Wood Brothers

The Wood Brothers

Firewater

Her hair and her clothes

Were smellin' of smoke

And her lips well they tasted like firewater

First kiss I was buzzed

Second I was in love I was high

You think I'd learned

All the times I was burned

Deservin' the blues and I sure got 'em

The drinkin' and pills

The head shrinkin' bills they got high

So if you taste lips of firewater

Better make like a tree

It's a kiss you want no part of

Better not wait and see

Her stockings were torn

Before she was born

Her mother said she was a hard daughter

No father around

She'd just get down and get high

So if you taste lips of firewater

Better make like a tree

That's a kiss you want no part of

Better not wait and see

If you taste lips of firewater

Get ready to bleed

It's a kiss you want no part of

If you're anything like me
