The bottle bout as empty as our home

Girl why’d you tell me to get gone

Yeah I’m still drownin and my heads poundin

And I can’t drink you gone this time

I tried bourbon and I’m still hurtin

Drankin in overtime ain’t working

I’m gettin stoned on being alone

With your memory piercin through my bones

 

Whiskey ain’t workin like used too

Ain’t burning out the pain in the rearview

Maybe riding the lightning ‘ll take me to back when I wasn’t trapped up in your bed

Feelin right when I know I’m wrong

Drinkin a fifth to write this song

The Whiskey ain’t workin like it u

Whiskey ain’t workin like it used to

The whiskey ain’t

HItting like it should

Like it did when we was good

Doesn’t knock me out my boots like I’m wishin you still could

Imma do the best I can

Take the bottle out my hand

Need mason jar to twist my heart

Right back to where I stand

Tryna shine like the sparkle on the vinyl

Hell we was toxic baby you know it

And I know

Whiskey ain’t workin like used too

Ain’t burning out the pain in the rearview

Maybe riding the lightning ‘ll take me to back when I wasn’t trapped up in your bed

Feelin right when I know I’m wrong

Drinkin a fifth to write this song

The Whiskey ain’t workin like it used to

Whiskey ain’t workin like it used to

I guess I’m the problem, then you tell your momma, what really happened, how we hit rock bottom

Girl it must be tough livin up in your head

Got a whole lot to say but I hold my breath

Whiskey ain’t workin like used too

Ain’t burning out the pain in the rearview

Maybe riding the lightning ‘ll take me to back when I wasn’t trapped up in your bed

Feelin right when I know I’m wrong

Drinkin a fifth to write this song

The Whiskey ain’t workin like it used to

Whiskey ain’t workin like it used to
