What Whiskey Does
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm gon' light one up and sit right here
I'm gonna drink this hole in the wall outta beer
And when that ice cold beer loses its buzz
I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does
Well maybe it'll make me lose my mind
Or maybe it'll help me forget this time
Maybe it'll put my fist through the wall
Make me pick up the phone and give you a call
Maybe it'll take me somewhere I've never been
Make the world stand still, make the whole world spin
Maybe make me dance, make me cry
Hell I don't know
But I know tonight
I'm gon' light one up and sit right here
I'm gonna drink this hole in the wall outta beer
And when that ice cold beer loses its buzz
I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does
Well maybe it'll buy this bar a round
Or turn my ass upside down
Maybe it'll make me a fly on the wall
Or stand me up 10 feet tall
Maybe it'll take me to a better place
And put a smile back on my face
Maybe it'll make me hate myself
Or fall in love with somebody else
But I'm gon' light one up and sit right here
I'm gonna drink this hole in the wall outta beer
And when that ice cold beer loses its buzz
I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does
Maybe it'll talk me off the ledge I've been on lately
Maybe it'll heal me, maybe it'll kill me
Yeah maybe
But I'm gon' light one up and sit right here
And drink this hole in the wall outta beer
And when that ice cold beer loses its buzz
I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does
Sometimes I sit here just because
I wanna let that whiskey do what whiskey does
