chasin' whiskey

that isolating fan is moving left to right

like it's mocking me for coming here again last night

i slide from under your arm

you're still out stone cold

as i fumble through the twisted sheets looking for my clothes

i step over that spot on your hardwood floor

the one that always squeaks when i'm sneaking out your door

some use water

others use beer

some don't need anything but i end up here

searching for comfort for this burnout can't soothe

chasing my whiskey with you

i call up my sister and tell her

don't say a word

you know where i am

i'll wait here by the curb

just like an addiction

well

i tried to give you up

but i know all bets are off when i've had too much

with an empty shot glass on a budweiser coaster

staring at my cell phone as closing time gets closer

some use water

others use beer

some don't need anything but i end up here

searching for comfort for this burnout i can't soothe

chasing my whiskey with you

every time is the last time

til the next time rolls around

i'll trade lonely for a regret

it's easier to drown

some use water

others use beer

some don't need anything but i end up here

searching for comfort for this burnout i can't soothe

chasing my whiskey with you

chasing my whiskey with you
