Tonight I'm going out on the town
Gotta lose myself before I break down
I'm just tired of the wishing well stealing my change
One foot in front and one behind
If I trip and fall
I'm gonna lose my mind
Ain't got no money, no gas, and no shame
I need a shot of whiskey to soothe my soul
Exchange my luck for a pot of gold
Yeah, and here's to the wishing well that never gives
I need a shot of whiskey to ease my mind
If it's bad luck, it ain't no friend of mine
So repay your debt so I can live
Just set me free
I need a shot of whiskey
The bar just opened
The night's still young
Maybe pawn my guitar
Pawn my guns
Or put away that stuff I can't get high in
I checked my pockets
I checked the couch
I need to find some money before the bars close down
I guess that wishing well finally went dry
I need a shot of whiskey to soothe my soul
Exchange my luck for a pot of gold
Yeah, and here's to the wishing well that never gives
I need a shot of whiskey to ease my mind
If it's bad luck, it ain't no friend of mine
So repay your debt so I can live
Just set me free
I need a shot of whiskey
