Switching to Whiskey

sitting here most of the night

sippin this beer feeling all right

with my old buddies, lined up at the bar

jukebox playing soft and low

bout to pay my tab, hit the road

just my luck, someone played that song

and i’m switching to whiskey

before the memory gets me

fill it to the top, let it burn me all the way down

i’m gonna drown my sorrow

sober up tomorrow

tonight i fly so high i can’t be found

til i don’t care that she don’t even miss me

i’m switching to whiskey

i can see her now plain as day

the night she took my breath away

dancin like a carousel on fire

through the barroom smoke her blue eyes shining

holdin her like she was mine

and the beer ain’t strong enough to ease my mind

now i’m switching to whiskey

before the memory gets me

fill it to the top, let it burn me all the way down

i’m gonna drown my sorrow

sober up tomorrow

tonight i fly so high i can’t be found

i’m gonna lean on jack shot for shot

i’m gonna match these tears drop for drop

i need something strong to wash the pain away

i’m switching to whiskey

yeah i’m gonna drown my sorrow

sober up tomorrow

tonight i fly so high i can’t be found

til i don’t care that she don’t even miss me

i’m switching to whiskey
