  • Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
    Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
    He didn't like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
    If it was bad enough for him, you know it's bad enough for me

    Hemingway's whiskey

    Ah, it's tough out there, a good muse is hard to find
    Living one word to the next, one line at a time
    There's more to life than whiskey, there's more to words than rhyme
    Sometimes nothing works, sometimes nothing shines

    Like Hemingway's whiskey

    Sail away, sail away, three sheets to the wind
    Live hard, die hard, this one's for him

    Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
    Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
    He didn't like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
    If it was bad enough for him, you know it's bad enough for me
