Ridley Bent Lyrics
All The Heat Is In The Whiskey Lyrics
Well I�m barreling down Highway 41,
And I�m feeling old.
Got no heat because my boss is cheap,
And my diesel cab is cold.
This winter in Alberta�s been,
The worst I�ve ever seen.
I step on the gas,
Because I�ve got no time to freeze.
My baby she�s got a Christmas tree,
And she�s decorating it for me.
And my daughter�s got her friends over,
They�re out makin� snow angels.
And my partners got a inside pocket,
And in it there�s a mickey.
It�s not my bag to drink and drive,
But all the heat is in the whiskey.
Everybody�s countin� on me,
Yeah, it�s comin� up on Christmas Eve,
And everybody needs a drink.
All the heat is in the whiskey,
Well it ain�t no coincidence,
That I�m hauling Canadian rye.
Well the weather�s been this bad for weeks,
And the whole damn town is dry.
My boss offered me triple time,
If I would make the drive.
But I�d have made that run for free,
Just to keep the town alive.
Because there ain�t a colder Christmas,
Like a Christmas without booze.
It keeps the lonesome company,
And the married couples loose.
The black ice and white sky,
Make the drive a little tricky.
But at least I�m warm inside,
All the heat is in the whiskey.
Everybody�s countin� on me,
Yeah it�s comin� up on Christmas Eve,
And everybody needs a drink.
All the heat is in the whiskey.
Five kilometers from my front porch,
And my lovely wife.
I swerve to miss a reindeer,
And the truck starts to jackknife.
I hit the ditch and the trailer flips,
I nearly lost my life.
The angels on my shoulders,
They were showin� me the light.
But my brother�s son and a couple friends,
Were out there on the sleds.
Luckily they got me home,
Before I froze to death.
My wife asked me to go back for the rye,
And then she kissed me.
She said, �Merry Christmas, my love�
All the heat, all the heat..
All the heat is in the whiskey,
Everybody�s countin� on me.
Yeah it�s comin� up on Christmas Eve,
And everybody needs a drink.
All the heat is in the whiskey.
All the heat is in the whiskey..
All the heat is in the whiskey..
All the heat is in the whiskey..
