It ain't the bartender, it ain't the bottle
It ain't the headache I'll have tomorrow
It's a high-low life when you shake it on up
Fillin' my cup
It's all my people sittin' 'round a table
Real sad country on the radio
My go-to blues and my old faithful
Barely pushin' twenty, but still carryin' me home
It's one part happy and one part chaos
Whole lotta borrowed, little bit paid off
You can't appreciate the sugar if you never had the salt
Ain't it nice and sweet even when it's on the rocks? Yeah
It ain't the bartender, it ain't the bottle
It ain't the headache I'll have tomorrow
It's a high-low life when you shake it on up
Fillin' my cup
It's all those so close you can taste it
Hard pill to swallow, goodbye loves
Sometimes, half empty is good for makin'
Room for the know it when you see it good stuff
It's one part happy and one part pain
Knowin' what you can and what you can't change
And learnin' that the secret is wantin' what you got
Makes it nice and sweet even when it's on the rocks, yeah
It ain't the bartender, it ain't the bottle
It ain't the headache comin' tomorrow
It's a high-low life when you shake it on up
Fillin' my cup
It ain't the bartender, it ain't the bottle
It ain't the headache I'll have tomorrow
It's a high-low life when you shake it on up
Fillin' my cup
Yeah, it ain't the whiskey, it ain't the wine
Though it sure goes good from time to time
With this high-low life, go and shake it on up
Yeah, that's the stuff that's fillin' my cup
Shake it on up
Fill it up, woo
