Hey Whiskey

[Verse]
Neon buzzin’ like a moth to flame
Barstool preacher callin’ out my name
Boots on the floor scuffin’ up the plain
Still the question rattles my brain

[Prechorus]
Hey whiskey, 
what was I drinking for

[Chorus]
What was I drinking for was it the girl in red
Was it the fight I lost or the words she said
Was it to drown the pain or just chase the roar
Tell me whiskey what was I drinking for

[Verse 2]
Jukebox playin’ every sad refrain
Quarter after quarter just to numb my pain
The mirror’s got a stranger wearin’ my shame
So I raised my glass to that fool in the frame

[Prechorus]
Hey whiskey,
what was I drinking for

[Chorus]
What was I drinking for was it the ring she sold
Was it the dream I broke or the lies I told
Was it to kill the ache or just beg for more
Tell me whiskey what was I drinking for

[Solo]

[Bridge]
Was it the jukebox blues or the barroom lies
The shadowed corners or her fire-lit eyes
I keep chasin’ ghosts I can’t disguise 
I know the reason, but I can't remember whyYy

[Prechorus]
Hey whiskey,
what was I drinking for

[Chorus]
What was I drinking for was it the girl in red
Was it the fight I lost or the words she said
Was it to drown the pain or just chase the roar
Tell me whiskey what was I drinking for

[Outro]
Hey whiskey,
What the Hell was I drinking for
