i was destined for greatness
it's what my mother once told me
but now that i'm older
                                 
the future don't see the way she sees

               
whiskey and the blues
           
tissues i can't use
                     
they don't dry it up
                   
i don't use 'em no more

       
alice oh alice
()          
where have ya been
                   
there's light at the window
()                  
and it slowly pinches in
       
alice oh alice
()          
time and misery
              
it moves rather slowly
                 
it's the only way i see


i was destined for greatness
it's the way it shoulda been
but now that i'm older
i don't know what i wound up in

oh whiskey and the blues
a language i can't use
it don't dry it up
no one listens anymore

alice oh alice
where have ya been
it's light at the window
and it slowly pinches in
alice oh alice
          
misery and time
it moves rather slowly
but at least i know it's mine

alice oh alice
where have ya been
it's light at the window
and it slowly pinches in
alice oh alice
misery and time
it moves so slowly
but i know for sure it's mine
