Jay Webb Whiskey Wishes
[Intro]
(Whiskey wishes it was you)
[Verse 1]
You got Kentucky crying, them barrels swear they're trying
To get me past goodbye, but it ain't doing any good
Black-label Tennessees, ten different shades of green
'Cause what you do to me is something that it never could
[Pre-Chorus]
I done been through half the shit, but far as I can tell
[Chorus]
Whiskey wishes it was you, the way you get me gone
There's nothing I can shoot that'll hit me half as strong
The bottle does its best, but it's only ninety proof
If you both were by the bed, hell, I know what I'd choose
Whiskey wishes it was you, you
[Verse 2]
Just 'cause it's on the top don't make it, make it stop
If they mix it from the bottle, still ain't gon' fix the problem
Wish I could find me some that'll get me more than drunk
But they don't make that kinda stuff
[Chorus]
Whiskey wishes it was you, the way you get me gone
There's nothing I can shoot that'll hit me half as strong
The bottle does its best, but it's only ninety proof
If you both were by the bed, hell, I know what I'd choose
Whiskey wishes it was you, you
Whiskey wishes it was you, you
[Bridge]
Whiskey wishes it was all that I was chasing
Whiskey wishes it could keep a heart from breaking
Yeah, whiskey wishes it could steal a room's attention
Yeah, whiskey wishes
[Chorus]
Whiskey wishes it was you, the way you get me gone
There's nothing I can shoot that'll hit me half as strong
The bottle does its best, but it's only ninety proof
If you both were by the bed, hell, I know what I'd choose
Whiskey wishes it was you, you
Whiskey wishes it was you, you
[Outro]
You got Kentucky crying, them barrels swear they're trying
To get me past goodbye, but it ain't doing any good
