W-I-F-E Lyrics

I've got my wife, the other women
And the whiskey killing me
The first two make it so that I see red
The third one makes it so that I can't see
If I had half a brain left after my debauchery
I'd give up the other women and the W-I-F-E

Wedding vows weren't made to be broken
These here lips weren't made to tell no lies
Somewhere along the way, I guess I must have gone astray
'Cause I'm drinking here and wishing for to die


I've got my wife, the other women
And the whiskey killing me
The first two make it so that I see red
The third one makes it so that I can't see
If I had half a brain left after my debauchery
I'd give up the other women and the W-I-F-E

It's just like my little sister told me
(Dear old momma)
In the end, you reap what you sow
I've been sowing seeds from Mexico to Tennessee
And I'm reaping now an awful lot of woe


I've got my wife, the other women
And the whiskey killing me
The first two make it so that I see red
The third one makes it so that I can't see
If I had half a brain left after my debauchery
I'd give up the other women and the W-I-F-E

I'd give up the other women and the W-I-F-E

Old 97's are an alt-country band originally based in Dallas, Texas, USA. The group formed in 1993 and took their name from a song popularized by Johnny Cash, "Wreck of the Old '97". They describe themselves as a rock band with influences as varied as the Kinks, the Beatles, Pixies, David Bowie, X, and Merle Haggard. The band often performs songs made famous by the latter two musicians, and has interspersed a number of these on their eight releases since 1994.

Old 97's have been heralded as a great live band. They included five live songs as a bonus disc on Satellite Rides, and released a live double CD set recorded at historic Gruene Hall in 2005, Alive and Wired. Singer/guitarist Rhett Miller has released three solo albums and singer/bassist Murry Hammond released his first solo effort in April 2008. Ken Bethea plays lead guitar for the band and playing the drums/singing is Philip Peeples.
