Whiskey’d My Way

You thought I'd die when you said goodbye

For a minute I thought that I would

And there for a while couldn't even fake a smile

Even if the bad joke sounded good

I went off the rails

Thought hell, might as well

Rock bottom was callin' my name

But lookin' back now, I oughta be

In the movin' on hall-of-fame

It wasn't my buddies, it wasn't my mama

It wasn't, no self-help how-to

It wasn't old records, it wasn't old flings

Or dancin' with somebody new

Tequila made me crazy, cold beer wouldn't do

So I whiskey'd my way over you

You saw me out on a Friday downtown

With a smile that came stumblin' back in

Guess that killed your mood 'cause you did what you do

Turned around and walked out again

So pour a little more bourbon

Oh, it's the only thing been workin'

It wasn't my buddies, it wasn't my mama

It wasn't, no self-help how-to

It wasn't old records, it wasn't old flings

Or dancin' with somebody new

Tequila made me crazy, cold beer wouldn't do

So I whiskey'd my way over you

Whiskey'd my way

Whiskey'd my way

Oh, oh, keep the bar keep workin'

Oh, oh, pour it on this hurtin'

It wasn't my buddies, it wasn't my momma

It wasn't, no self-help how-to

It wasn't old records, and it wasn't old flings

Or dancin' with somebody new

Tequila made me crazy, cold beer wouldn't do

So I whiskey'd my way over you

Tequila didn't cut it, cold beer was no use

So I whiskey'd my way over you
