Lyrics
I can almost, see me now
In Acapulco
I can almost, feel the breeze
That makes the palm trees sway
The motion, of the ocean
In the bottle
Says loving her, is just a sip away
Takin’ me a whiskey trip
Loving her with every sip
I’m just like a sailing ship
A’waiting for the winds to blow
Whiskey, you’re a friend of mine
You can blow away my mind
To some other place and time
Taking me a whiskey trip
I can almost, see her now
Here beside me
I can almost, smell the perfume
Drifting from her hair
And living with this feeling Of wanting her
One more drink, and I know I’ll be there
A taking me a whiskey trip
Loving her with every sip
I’m just like a sailing ship
Waiting for the winds to blow
Whiskey, you’re a friend of mine
You can blow away my mind
To some other place and time
Taking me a whiskey trip
A Taking me a whiskey trip
Loving her with every sip
I’m just like a sailing ship
Waiting for the winds to blow
