about

Lead singer Tom Melancon was inspired to write this song based on his journey with addiction and the familiar nightmares recovering alcoholics often have years after they’ve actually had their last drink.

lyrics

Like a long, cool drink of water, she sure can take my breath away
How a share-croppers daughter,
Ended up with a man like me I'll never say
She won't walk away from a fight. She don't have to tell me I'm right

She's a sweet, sweet river
A gentle breeze blowin' over me
I don't think I've ever met a woman who's such a mystery
She won't walk away from a fight. She don't have to tell me I'm right

Sometimes I think about drinkin', Johnny Walker calls my name
Then I see my Carialta, I'll never be the same

Sometimes I dream about drinkin'
Johnny Walker sings to me
Then I see my Carialta, eyes like the deep blue sea
She'll throw in when things get rough
She's about ten kinds of tough
She won't walk away from a fight
She don't have to tell me I'm right
