lyrics

Whiskey in Hand Edwards/ Bell

I used to love you baby, now that feeling’s all but gone
Waited all night for your return, you passed out on the lawn
If you thought that whiskey shots would give you love instead
Of yours truly, “Mr. Gullible”, then you must be “Miss-Led”

It’s a cryin’ shame, that your youth the drink demands
You’re one tough dame, Bank on your back, whiskey in hand
Held your head up high ‘til your spirits all ran dry
Gnash your teeth and cry for your whiskey in hand

When we had it sweet, why’d you have to turn it bitter?
Said you’d slow down, but you don’t want to be known as a quitter
You lost your class within your glass; you’ve got yourself to blame
As you’re drinking your way down into the “alco-hall” of fame

You once made me a promise, and you’d thought that I’d forgotten
Telling me you’ve changed, baby your sense of timing’s rotten
Well a mason jar at the whiskey bar can keep you company
So don’t come ‘round here for lovin’, you ain’t gettin’ none from me

We love each other so you don’t have to…. ... more
