Lyrics
Royal Canadian blended The spicy aroma had mended me Matured for years and imported Into my glass you poured it And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen Suppose it stands to reason That you would turn on me You're so solid You're so solid It burns inside of me 'cause you're so solid It burns inside of me Wild Turkey's been chosen Its caramel nose can smell me Arbourler, Jameson I love you The single malts come burning And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen Suppose it stands to reason That you would turn on me You're so solid You're so solid It burns inside of me 'cause you're so solid It burns inside of me. Royal Canadian blended The spicy aroma had mended me And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen Suppose it stands to reason That you would turn on me You're so solid You're so solid It burns inside of me 'cause you're so solid It burns inside me

Instead of
Royal Canadian blended The spicy aroma has mended me
In the last verse, the lyric is
Arbourler, Jameson I love you The single malts come burning
Alternative lyrics (Live)
Instead of
Arbourler, Jameson I love you The single malts come burning
In the second verse, the lyric is
It's running wild through my brain vein Only hatred remains
