Lyrics

You won't find me in a chair at home
That look in your eye, your mouth a foam
Stepped on my heart, you blackened my eye
I take you with moonshine, whiskey and rye

Step into my boots and I head to the door
Gonna live a few hours 'fore I die a few more
When loving you feels like livin' in a war
I don the hat from the liquor store

Tried to understand the reason we fought
And though logic was with me reality was not
What can I do? What can I confess?
To get you out of that storm-colored dress

Only hit me ‘cause you love me once I understood how
Whiskey only hits tomorrow but it's loving me right now
Don't want to drink at Cheers where they know my name
I wear my Liquor Store Fedora to hide my shame

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

If water into wine is miraculous divine
Then whiskey must be sacred and I'm prayin' drinkin' mine
With my heart on my sleeve, hat covering my eye
At the bottom of the bottle is a savior I can buy

Keep this up and I'll leave someday
But now the liquor store's selling a bottled getaway
Dance past the beer to the whisky buffet
Though I waltz with wine, tonight's a bourbon ballet

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
