Written by Tony Ramey
Writing with Tony Ramey is always an adventure, not only because he’s brilliant but simply put… it’s just fun. He never stops the creative process. So much so, that there were many times he’d start playing or singing and Dave would say, “Are you making this up right now? Did you just write that?”
That’s exactly how I came to hear this song for the first time. This is a song that Tony wrote by himself a handful of months ago. Written from the perspective of a whiskey bottle.
If Dos Corazones were a western, this would be the scene where the cowboy is in the saloon… sitting, downing a bottle, drowning in heartache.
(Intro)
I was born in Lynchburg on a misty mountain morn
Way down in the South of Tennessee
I came by truck through Memphis on its way to Californ'
And I don't think we've had a chance to meet
So go on help yourself
I been put up on this shelf
For hearts like yours who go through times like these
(Chorus)
No, I ain't the devil, truth is I don't take sides
The choices that you make ain't my concern
But I can fight old flames with fire
While I warm you up inside
Even make you numb if you can make it past the burn
That's why I'm famous among fools who never learn
Yes, I'm famous among fools who never learn
(Verse)
Some call me sippin' whiskey and some folks call me Jack
But they all know to call me when they're down
I ain't here to judge ya, just set me up and throw me back
And I'll be right there beside you every round
But be careful when you pour me
Yeah, this might end up empty
There's only so many memories you can drown
(Chorus)
No, I ain't the devil, truth is I don't take sides
The choices that you make ain't my concern
I can fight old flames with fire
While I warm you up inside
Even make you numb if you can make it past the burn
That's why I'm famous among fools who never learn
I can fight old flames with fire
While I warm you up inside
Even make you numb if you can make it past the burn
That's why I'm famous among fools who never learn
Yes, I'm famous among fools who never learn
I was born in Lynchburg on a misty mountain morn
Way down in the South of Tennessee
