Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know what you're thinkin', 'cause I overheard
Bartender what is she drinkin', you're starin' at her
I know she looks like heaven, but save yourself all the hell
Sit down that seven and seven, and just drink it yourself
[Verse 2]
She's gonna climb in your car
She's gonna mess up your sheets
You're gonna give her your heart
You're gonna give her your key
She's gonna want you to change
She's gonna flirt with your friends
She's gonna string you along
Ruin your favorite song
And it ends with you back at the bar
Where you are right now
No matter what you think
That's a waste of a whiskey drink
[Verse 3]
Yeah, waste of a whiskey drink
[Verse 4]
You're better off going home, send out a drunk text or two
Hey buddy do what you want, but if she's what you do
I hope you like the taste of salt, tequila, and lime
'Cause you'll never taste jack again without her on your mind
[Verse 5]
She's gonna climb in your car
She's gonna mess up your sheets
You're gonna give her your heart
You're gonna give her your key
She's gonna want you to change
She's gonna flirt with your friends
She's gonna string you along
Ruin your favorite song
And it ends with you back at the bar
Where you are right now
No matter what you think
That's a waste of a whiskey drink
[Verse 6]
Yeah, waste of a whiskey drink
[Verse 7]
Yeah, that's a waste of eight bucks, six months and a pearl jam shirt
Half your summer, half your savings and a whole lot of hurt
Pour your left and drink in your right, make it a double
Save yourself all the trouble
[Verse 8]
She's gonna climb in your car
Leave her dress on the floor
She's gonna tell you she never felt like this before
[Verse 9]
She's gonna want you to change
Gonna sleep with your friends
She's gonna string you along
Ruin your favorite song
And it ends with you back at the bar
Where you are right now
No matter what you think
That's a waste of a whiskey drink
Yes it is
That's a waste of a whiskey drink
Yes it is
That's a waste of whiskey drink
