HOW MUCH LIQUOR
Lyrics and Music By 
JR Greely Copyright:2025

How much liquor does it take, 
to drink me off your mind. 
To steal your warm heart 
and  numb your feelings blind. 
Is it just 1 drink, 
or ain't 1000 drinks enough. 
Will it always be your choice, 
how much pain you want to stuff. 

CHORUS
Turn the wine back into water, 
turn the whiskey back to grain. 
Cling to that someone special, 
I'll guide you to the wagon train. 
All alone in your empty home, 
with liquor on your breath. 
Someday there'll be no choice,
when you die a lonely death.


How much liquor does it take, 
to bury all the hurt away, 
To calm your cold and trembling hands, 
to rise and face the day. 
Is it just 2 drinks, 
or ain't 2000 drinks enough. 
Will it always be your choice, 
when you think life is to rough. 

CHORUS
Turn the wine back into water, 
turn the whiskey back to grain. 
Cling to that someone special, 
I'll guide you to the wagon train. 
All alone in your empty home, 
with liquor on your breath. 
Someday there'll be no choice, 
when you die a lonely death. 

BRIDGE
Will 1 bottle be all it takes, 
until you've lost your wits. 
Will it take a 6 foot grave, 
before you call it quits. 
 

CHORUS
Turn the wine back into water, 
turn the whiskey back to grain. 
Cling to that someone special, 
I'll guide you to the wagon train. 
All alone in your empty home, 
with liquor on your breath.
Someday there'll be no choice,
when you die a lonely death.

TAG
How much liquor will it take.
How much liquor ....... does ..... it take.
