Well, my baby, she don't want me around.
She said she's tired of watchin' me fall down.
She wants the good life, only the best.
But I like that bottle better than the rest.
And she said: I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
If you take your whiskey...
Well, that liquor in the nighttime leaves strange memories.
Seems a lifetime since yesterday.
Come the daybreak, come the morrow,
that woman's waited up all night for me again.
She said: Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, you know that you're headed for a lot of trouble.
If you take your whiskey home.
Some goes to women, some goes to Jesus,
though I'm absolutely certain both's all right.
But it takes me at least halfway to the label
'fore I can even make it through the night.
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, you know that you're headed for a lot of trouble.
If you take your whiskey home.

I will be drinking and snorting coke tonight.

[LoungeMachine]

Check with Natra and Golden Awe, as I'm on hiatus....

[ALinChainz]

I will expound further on this issue tonight as well as other rumors.

And to put it mildly ... I'm unfuckingbelievable ...

Don't ask me how I was 11 in '74, but am now 58 and a retired senator.

[ALinChainz]

Ok, hopefully this thread gets back to the song ...

[Axl S]

[FORD]

How about a new video for the song featuring Chimpy & Pickles Bush?

[BALLYJUNKIE]

van halen was the ultimate party band .... even at the height of thier careers ,they could have played in your backyard or concert halls .at that song would have been great ,after dave drank some whisky and sang the song ,he would jump in your swimmimng pool !!!

The Song is great. WACF, in my opinion is the best out of the six pack!

[Loons The Great]

There are some tremendous live versions of this tune out there in the perimeter...Dave and Eddie would do the ol' blues call and response...Law'd hab mercy...

[BottomLine65]

WACF best out of the ORIGINAL SIX
Great song!

It's a terrific song and WACF is anyway my #2 in the six-pack...I thought Dave was at his rawest, truest, funniest best on all of WACF and he blazed the trail on this album vocally...Take Your Whiskey Home is one of several songs that make me love Dave even more in some strange inexplicable way...And this song sure makes one feel that whatever Dave does, even drinking in excess and making a mess of relationships or whatever, at the end of the day, he never caused anybody any harm and he's gonna get thru just fine no matter what he does or what we think..Great song, period....

**Why is 'Fools' always so talked down?..I love that one too...

[DeadOrAlive]

I like the bottle a whole lot better than the rest. Come on, there's some truth behind that. Gotta love the Classic VH
