You can live on pie and whiskey
But you surely won’t live too long
One is as sweet as your very first kiss
The other gonna go down strong
Neither one will sustain you
When the other make your belly lame
And go all wrong
You can live on pie and whiskey

But you surely won’t live too long
You can sing yourself a lullaby
Like your mamma sang to you
Hers was just like ringing a bell
Yours is like a worn out shoe
She had a voice just like honey
Yours just like leather nails and glue
You can sing yourself a lullaby
Like your mamma sang to you

You can cry, cry, cry, like no tomorrow
But yesterday done come and gone
Hijacked the pie and the whiskey
Kidnapped your mamma’s song
Oh but worn out shoes are made for walking
You better get walking cause you ain’t
Gonna be here long

You can cry, cry, cry like no tomorrow
You can sing yourself a lullaby
You can live on pie and whiskey
But you surely won’t live too long
