Why Not Whiskey

Yeah I can still hear the sound

Of her Civic pedal down

With her middle finger up in the air

Ever since that night I've been losing my mind

Tryin' to find a way to I don't care

I've burned pictures, I smoke marijuana

I talk to God, and I talk to mama

She said "boy don't make no new bad habits"

But tonight I'm goin' pure old fashioned

So bartender pour me a double and double down hard

I need a little break from this breakin' up heart

It's a temporary fix and a little short sighted

But your memory keeps swinging so if I'm gonna fight it

Gonna need a little help from Jack

Before what we had hits me

So why not whiskey

I need a brown liquor burn

Black label bottle turned upside down in my hand

A little bootleg buzz full of mess-me-up stuff

That you can't pull from a cold can

Any old 90 proof will do cause you're lookin' at a desperate man

So bartender pour me a double and double down hard

I need a little break from this breakin' up heart

It's a temporary fix and a little short sighted

But your memory keeps swinging so if I'm gonna fight it

Gonna need a little help from Jack

Before what we had hits me

So why not whiskey

Why not whiskey

Whiskey

Gonna need a little Tennessee 7 to help me drown the memory

Would've never sank this low if you were still here with me

So bartender pour me a double and double down hard

I need a little break from this breakin' up heart

It's a temporary fix and a little short sighted

But your memory keeps swinging so if I'm gonna fight it

Gonna need a little help from Jack

Before what we had hits me

So why not whiskey

Why not whiskey, whiskey
