Whiskey In the Jar - Metallica

There he goes again Lost in the drink The bottle's half empty As he tries not to sink There he goes again He lost control again The drink takes him down Despair in his eyes As he tries not to drown There he goes again She says "Don't give in now We still need you I still need you around He says "I don't know how But I still need you To save me somehow" There he goes again Worse for the wear Empty glass, empty stare And he tried to outrun his history And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life They tried In the end, it ain't a mystery He said "Show me the way, don't give up on me today" See, I tried If anybody's listening" But they're broken down now As he lies in the ground They tried They just weren't stronger than the whiskey There he goes again Slave to the drink The bottle's now empty As he tries not to think There he goes again She says "Don't give in now We still need you I still need you around" He says "I don't know how But I still need you To save me somehow" There he goes again Worse for the wear Empty glass, empty stare And he tried to outrun his history And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life They tried In the end, it ain't a mystery He said "Show me the way, don't give up on me today See, I tried If anybody's listening" But they're broken down now As he lies in the ground He tried He wasn't stronger than the whiskey He wasn't stronger than the whiskey

Oh Lord, won't you let me stay in the place where I was born? In the fields Granddaddy tilled and all my seeds are sown Ain't no love for a poor dirt farmer, a genuine son of the south And the water's high and the bills are too and levy tumblin' down Daddy owed the banker man So we was drownin' before the flood That river washed us all away Left us right here in the mud Yeah, in the mud We built this house upon the Mississippi back in 1879 Over a hundred years, my family's been here barely scrapin' by We just some good old country folk Tryin' to weather the storm How we gonna pay when the interest rates Done got higher than the corn? Ain't no man gonna take it away Six feet down in the blood Still the crops they don't come alive And you'll die, right here in the mud Yeah, in the mud Who's this creepin' through the sticks? Let me talk at 'em with my 30 ought six A couple city guys with suits and ties Bet they can't feel this crosshair right between their eyes I got no place to go and no place to run Just a dirt farmer's boy with his Granddaddy's gun Step across that line, I'm gonna tell you, son We all gonna die, right here in the mud Yeah, in the mud

Everybody down in Huston calls him "Texas". Everybody way up North calls him "Cornbread". You shoulda heard the way that his momma called him "baby", Daddy called him "boy", his friends call him "crazy". Shoulda just called it like I saw it. Shoulda just called for help and ran like hell that day. The burning, the stinging, the high and the heat and the "left-me-wanting-more" Feeling when he kissed me. I shoulda just called him "Whiskey". Warm my body to the core just like a blanket. His face was so sweet then he took my breath away. Hit me so hard like a rock through a window. I knew I was in trouble from the moment I met you, boy. Shoulda just called it like I saw it. Shoulda just called for help and ran like hell that day. The burning, the stinging, the high and the heat and the "left-me-wanting-more" Feeling when he kissed me. I shoulda just called him "Whiskey" Now the numb has set in. He's gone like the wind. And I can barely feel the pain. Shoulda just called it like I saw it. Shoulda just called for help and ran like hell that day. The burning, the stinging, the high and the heat and the "left-me-wanting-more" Feeling when he kissed me. The burning, the stinging, the high and the heat and the "left-me-wanting-more" Feeling when he kissed me. I shoulda just called him "Whiskey". Shoulda just called him "Whiskey". I shoulda just called him "Whiskey".

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
