Part 2: All the Whiskey in the World (The townsfolk)

lyrics

She went south from Austin

The beginning of the end
Gonna start a new life in Marfa
But first she wanted to see Big Bend

She got about as far as San Marcos
When her radiator blew
And she abandoned that car and grabbed her stuff
And said "here’s gonna have to do"

And we watched her spin

Out of control
Nose dive down
No tuck and roll
And on her face
Was a look of scorn
And all the whiskey in the world wouldn’t keep her warm



We heard rumors she was using
And shacking up with college kids

That she’d had a husband back in Austin
And lost a baby boy to SIDS

Despite all that she’d been handed
She would dance like she didn’t care
And as she came off the rails

We couldn’t help but stare



And we watched her spin

Out of control
Nose dive down
No tuck and roll
And on her face
A look of scorn
And all the whiskey in the world wouldn’t keep her warm

Sometimes life has a way of getting loose
Slips the reigns and bucks wild in the dirt
And when the dust of a life it finally clears

Only then can we see the heart beneath the hurt

And we watched her spin

Out of control
Nose dive down
No tuck and roll
And on her face
A look of scorn
And all the whiskey in the world wouldn’t keep her warm
