I can shoot tequila straight when I'm out with my friends

I can unwind on a little wine, baby, yeah, I can

I can drink an ice-cold beer when I clock out of that dirt

But there's something 'bout that tennessee girl that never works.

They say it's the cure, but not this time

And that's the reason why, huh...

I hate whiskey

It just keeps me up and thinking 'bout us

That's all it does

It doesn't burn your memory, it just lights it up

Yeah, I hate whiskey

'cause it only gets me drunk on you, on us

I hate whiskey.

It never goes down smooth, now it always burns

I'm just the same fool on the same stool, girl, I never learn

It's a temporary fix to your permanent goodbye

That proof is in that 90 proof, and it keeps proving you right, so...

I hate whiskey

It just keeps me up and thinking 'bout us

That's all it does

It doesn't burn your memory, it just lights it up

Yeah, I hate whiskey

'cause it only gets me drunk on you, on us

I hate whiskey

Hell, it only gets me drunk on you, on us

I hate whiskey.

It tastes like I still love you, girl, on ice

And that's the reason why.

I hate whiskey

It just keeps me up and thinking 'bout us

That's all it does

It doesn't burn your memory, it just lights it up

Yeah, I hate whiskey

'cause it only gets me drunk on you, on us

I hate whiskey

Hell, it only gets me drunk on you, on us

I hate whiskey.

I hate whiskey

I hate whiskey.
