about

This one goes out to all the young women who like to drink whiskey and write songs about it. My friend Sabrina has me convinced it's actually a larger segment of the songwriting population than you may realize. I quit drinking in 1998.

lyrics

You chicks you sing about whiskey.
I’ll drink your song about whiskey.
Sing me a verse about sorrow.
I’ll spike my coffee with it tomorrow.
Write me a line about down and out.
I swallowed all of what you’re singing about.
Your half-pint chorus sounds like old Jim Beam.
I sipped that chorus now I’m old and mean.

It’s afternoon you’ve got another song.
This one’s about some boy who’s come and gone.
The bottle’s square, the cap is on the floor.
Guitar is thirsty so she sings one more.
I remember putting out that fire.
I remember when the ground was higher.
You’ve written all the broken lines again
You girls are tempting me to descend.

Young ladies write your lived-in whiskey songs.
I’ll pour them down my throat, they're already gone.
