On my way to the Whiskey Bar
On my way to the heaven above
Six long years, well I've been taking my time
Some might say I'm old, but I'm still young in mind
Many new friends I have met, many old friends I have lost
But the true ones are always by my side
In times when I was struggling I hit the railroads hard
Into blackouts I was drinking, oh my world it has turned dark
In excess, what a moron, the drugs (that) kept me high
I beg pardon in humility, oh man, I was a fool
I beg pardon once again for one last time
One more year, well I lost track of time
Trouble wheighs a ton, but I left (the) trouble minds behind
Many places I have been, many new folks I have seen.
But the true/only ones to stay are hard to find
The fights that I was fighting left my broken on the ground
In times of desperation, I surrender, lost my will.
A refugee of my own world, a prisoner of my soul
I berdon in humility, oh man, I was a fool
I beg pardon once again for one last time
Some say it's waste of life, for me it's live in style
As long as I can count on you
My dearest enemy, my closest friend on earth
The one who understands the way
My dearest enemy, my closest friend on earth
The one who understands the way
Six long years, well I've been taking my time
Some might say I'm old, but I'm still young in mind
Many new friends I have met, many old friends I have lost
But the true ones are always by my side
In times when I was struggling I hit the railroads hard
Into blackouts I was drinking, oh my world it has turned dark
In excess, what a moron, the drugs (that) kept me high
I beg pardon in humility, oh man, I was a fool
I beg pardon once again for one last time
Some say it's waste of life, for me it's live in style
As long as I can count on you
My dearest enemy, my closest friend on earth
The one who understands the way
My dearest enemy, my closest friend on earth

Stories about long nights and the confessions afterwards, songs about the longing for a distant place. May it be the first
whiskey at the bar or a last farewell at the railway station.
