Switching To Whiskey

Sitting here most of the night
Sippin’ this beer, feeling all right
With my old buddies lined up at the bar
Jukebox playing soft and low
‘Bout to pay my tab, hit the road
Just my luck, someone played that song

And I’m switching to whiskey
Before the memory gets me
Fill it to the top, let it burn me all the way down
I’m gonna drown my sorrow
Sober up tomorrow
Tonight I fly so high I can’t be found
‘Til I don’t care that she don’t even miss me
I’m switching to whiskey

I can see her now plain as day
The night she took my breath away
Dancin’ like a carousel on fire
Through the barroom smoke her blue eyеs shining
Holdin’ her like she was minе
And the beer ain’t strong enough to ease my mind

Now I’m switching to whiskey
Before the memory gets me
Fill it to the top, let it burn me all the way down
I’m gonna drown my sorrow
Sober up tomorrow
Tonight I fly so high I can’t be found

I’m gonna lean on Jack shot for shot
I’m gonna match these tears drop for drop
I need something strong to wash the pain away
I’m switching to whiskey

Yeah I’m gonna drown my sorrow
Sober up tomorrow
Tonight I fly so high i can’t be found
‘Til I don’t care that she don’t even miss me
I’m switching to whiskey
