Decided to play with these two phrases and rearrange them a little
Water under the bridge - to- Whiskey under the bridge
What goes up must come down- reversed to- What goes down eventually will ascend
The lyric is set to a basic Blues tone.
V1
Woke up this morning
To an unforgiving blare
Rubbing crusty red eyes
Try to focus my glare
She was squalling by the bedside
Last nights whiskey was everywhere
V2
Didnt make it home from work
Till the sun started to ascend
My troubles got me so down, babe
I let the whiskey descend.
Forgot about your birthday, babe
And the visit of your friend
Chorus
I took my troubles down
To where my troubles are slipping
To the burner by the rocks
Where the whiskey is dripping
But what goes down
Eventually will ascend
Like the burger from Mac D
And the whiskey, from under the bridge
V3
So when life got you down
An the old lady is tripping
Remember under the bridge
The whiskey is always dripping
But be aware of the power
of reversed gravity
It may decide to start working
when youre horizontally
Chorus 2
So take your troubles down
To where troubles are slipping
To the burner by the rocks
To where the whiskey is dripping
But what goes down
Eventually will ascend
Like a burger from Mac D
And the whiskey, from under the bridge
This is SO funny. i have no idea if it's good or not, as a lyric, but it cracks me up.

Your lyrics sure paint a rather, um, colorful, scenario. Â The only thing I would recommend is to consider changing the last line of the chorus to "flowing under the bridge" rather than "from under the bridge". Â
He not busy being born is busy dying. - Bob Dylan (It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding)
I like the idea for the song. This would work a lot better with more verses and a short punch of a chorus instead
of the long one you have.
