(Tom T. Hall)

(Whiskey castles.)

When I'm drinking I start building whiskey castles
Castles that grow tall throughout the night
When morning comes you never do remind me
I've been building whiskey castles all my life.

As far as I'm concerned you deserve one
A castle with a garden fair and bright
You've stayed with me and never once seemed sorry
I've been building whiskey castles all my life.

Lord, I'm so tired of building whiskey castles
Castles that dissolve in morning light
I would rather dream with you than be without you
I've been building whiskey castles all my life.

As far as I'm concerned you deserve one
A castle with a garden fair and bright
You've stayed with me and never once seemed sorry
I've been building whiskey castles all my life...
