Wish You Were The Whiskey

Stupid static buzzing in through the stereo

Smoke blowing in through the patio

I'm right where I was just a week ago

Bartender sliding me a double

Of Jameson, the strong somethin' I've been missin'

Got me feeling good and believin'

Believing I'm forgettin'

The taste, the burn, the sting of you leavin'

I'm right where you left me, at the bottom of the bottle

Now I'm drunk

Like a fireball lightin' me up

Put it to my lips and I feel that rush

Letting 80 proof do what it does

And I'm high

It's rocking me through the night

Keeping me warm, holding me so tight

Finally feeling fine and then it hits me

I wish you were the whiskey

Straight up, waiting by the door when I get off

It's a sure thing I can count on

The truth is coming out a little more and more with every shot

I should've known better than to run to the bottle

Now I'm drunk

Like a fireball lightin' me up

Put it to my lips and I feel that rush

Letting 80 proof do what it does

And I'm high

It's rocking me through the night

Keeping me warm, holding me so tight

Finally feeling fine and then it hits me

I wish you were the whiskey

Yeah, the whiskey, yeah

Oh, the whiskey, yeah, the whiskey, yeah

Well, now I'm all alone and your memory's hanging over

I should've known better than to think I could trade one for the other

And I'm drunk

Like a fireball lightin' me up

Put it to my lips and I feel that rush

Letting 80 proof do what it does

And I'm high

It's rocking me through the night

Keeping me warm, holding me so tight

Finally feeling fine and then it hits me

I wish you were the whiskey

Yeah, the whiskey, yeah

Oh, the whiskey, yeah, the whiskey, yeah
