You thought I'd die when you said goodbye For a minute I thought that I would And there for a while 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 callin' my name But lookin' back now, I oughta be In the movin' 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 flings Or dancin' 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 stumblin' 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 workin'
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 flings Or dancin' 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, oh, keep the bar keep workin' Oh, oh, pour it on this hurtin'
It wasn't my buddies, it wasn't my momma It wasn't, no self-help how-to It wasn't old records, and it wasn't old flings Or dancin' 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
