Whiskey You Lyrics by Josh Ross
Whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
Why do I keep putting you on my lips?
Hitting rock bottom at the bottom of a fifth
Whiskey, you do things
Woke up in the wrong bed, look what you did to me
Made a mess of my head, same shit you pulled last week
You called my ex ten times, got me kicked out the bar
I got to running my mouth, but you took it too far
Whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
Why do I keep putting you on my lips?
Hitting rock bottom at the bottom of a fifth
Whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
That girl like that, broke her heart in two
Shame on me, but the blame’s on you
Pour you out, put you down, pick you up again
Whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
Yeah, whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
Whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
That last shot, I probably should’ve went home
What the hell I did, I said, hell, I don’t wanna know
Yeah, that girl’s gone as my memory
But it ain’t her that does this to me
If I’d have left you on the shelf, she’d be kissing me
Damn you, Tennessee
Whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
Why do I keep putting you on my lips?
Hitting rock bottom at the bottom of a fifth
Whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
That girl like that, broke her heart in two
Shame on me, but the blame’s on you
Pour you out, put you down, pick you up again
Whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
Yeah, whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
Yeah, whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
That girl like that, broke her heart in two
Shame on me, but the blame’s on you
Pour you out, put you down, pick you up again
Whiskey, you do things I wish I never did
