Well I bought that house and I built that porch
Lost them both in my first divorce
Lord that woman she took all I had

Well she took the car and she took the keys
Lawyers sure do aim to please
Now my kids don’t get to see their dad

And I’m reaching for the bottle
At the end of every day
Yeah I know that there’s a problem
But there ain’t no other way

Where the whiskey turns to gold
Where we never get sick and we never grow old
Where we live every line in the stories yet untold
And the whiskey turns to gold

When I met that girl we were just sixteen
All we had were hopes and dreams
How’d I end up broke and unemployed

Well we married young on a summer day
Her dad said no but we did anyway
Settled down had a girl and then a boy

And I’m drinking with the devil
Cause he knows just where I’m weak
Too drunk to even notice
Too tired to even speak

Where the whiskey turns to gold
Where we never get sick and we never grow old
Where we live every line in the stories yet untold
And the whiskey turns to gold

And as I’m drinking in the rain
With my conscience growing strong
I can’t help thinking I’m to blame
For everything gone wrong
The list goes on and on

I’m waiting for the part where I get it all back
The house, the dog, the kids, the cat
I’m dumb enough to think it can all work out
But smart enough to know it don’t happen like that

I’m waiting for the part where I get it all back
I’m waiting for the part where I get it all back
I’m waiting for the part where I get it all back
Here come the part where I get it all back

And the whiskey turns to gold
Where we never get sick and we never grow old
Where we live every line in the stories yet untold
And the whiskey turns to gold
