Whiskey & Stitches is about a cheating cowboy gambler going town to town in the mid-west always carrying a colt 45, knife and a bottle of whiskey to help him make it through and encapsulates the theme of many of the Western films I watched as a child, mostly films staring John Wayne and, one of my silver screen heroes Robert Mitchum and is the brother to Lee Marvin’s ‘Wandering Star’ if you like:)!

Whiskey & Stitches Lyrics
Whiskey and stitches
Whiskey and stitches
Whiskey and stitches
Whiskey and stitches
Is what I am
Whiskey and stitches
Keep me together man
Whiskey and stitches
Burn me up inside
Without these whiskey and stitches
I would have long ago died
They call me ‘a gambler’
As I make the rounds
‘A cheating gambler’
As I go town to town
A stacked deck
Is from what I deal
With a stacked deck
I cheat and I steal
From Dodge to Sarita
Tombstone to Durango
In each there’s a senorita
Waiting for me to show
A blade, a Colt 45
And Jack Daniels is my friend
They help me stay alive
On them my life depends
On them my life depends
I go town to town
I never feel at home
People put me down
Like to throw me a bone
Got too many scars
That can’t be healed
Been in too many bars
Got a raw deal
Whiskey and stitches
Burn me up inside
Without these whiskey and stitches
I would have long ago died
Living too long
Seen too many sights
Gotta stay strong
Through these hard days and nights
Whiskey and stitches
Burn me up inside
Without these whiskey and stitches
I would have long ago died
Will always be alone
Maybe it’s God’s will
If I die away from home
You can bury me on Boot Hill
Whiskey and stitches
Burn me up inside
Without these whiskey and stitches
I would have long ago died
Whiskey and stitches
Whiskey and stitches
Whiskey and stitches
Whiskey and stitches
Whiskey and stitches
Burn me up inside
Whiskey and stitches
Whiskey and stitches
Whiskey and stitches
Whiskey and stitches
Burn me up inside
Whiskey and stitches
Whiskey and stitches
