Whiskey’d My Way

You thought I'd die

When you said goodbye

For a minute I thought that I would

And there for awhile

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 calling my name

But lookin' back now, I oughta be

In the moving 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 flames

Or dancing 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 stumbling 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 working

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 flames

Or dancing 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, keep the barkeep workin'

Oh, pour it on this hurtin'

It wasn't my buddies

It wasn't my mama

It wasn't no self-help how-to

It wasn't old records

And it wasn't old flames

Or dancing 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
