Alice - Robert Francis

i was destined for greatness

it’s what my mother once told me

but now that i’m older

the future don’t see the way she sees

whiskey and the blues

tissues i can’t use

they don’t dry it up

i don’t use 'em no more

alice oh alice

where have ya been

there’s light at the window

and it slowly pinches in

alice oh alice

time and misery

it moves rather slowly

it’s the only way i see

i was destined for greatness

it’s the way it shoulda been

but now that i’m older

i don’t know what i wound up in

oh whiskey and the blues

a language i can’t use

it don’t dry it up

no one listens anymore

alice oh alice

where have ya been

it’s light at the window

and it slowly pinches in

alice oh alice

misery and time

it moves rather slowly

but at least i know it’s mine

alice oh alice

where have ya been

it’s light at the window

and it slowly pinches in

alice oh alice

misery and time

it moves so slowly

but i know for sure it’s mine
