One of the highlights of my 2nd writing trip in Nashville 2016 was writing this song with Gareth Dunlop.

Lyrics

One of you is sweet, one of you is bitter
sometimes I get the saint, sometimes I get the sinner
you can burn me up like summer, freeze me over like winter I have filled you up but the bottle’s drunk you dry
Waited for the day you kiss the grain goodbye God only knows how I’ve tried
Fooled myself a thousand times
chorus
Three’s a crowd, there’s one of you I can do without I’m on the ropes and I can’t go another round
You and me and whiskey,
Three’s a crowd (three’s a crowd)
Water’s coming in, the ship is going down Stay there if you want to but I’m bailing out All of my hopes have turned to doubts
I can’t turn this ship around
chorus

I know there's buried treasure deep within your heart
I pray that you'll find it, i hope I played my part
All of those demons from within
Ain't it sad they all could swim
