Whenever my life's troubled
I got worries in my mind
There ain't no better medicine
Than three things to get me by
Country music, whiskey, and one good friend
Mix those three together
And my soul will be on the mend
The crying of a steel guitar
Three chords on a flat top box
A fiddle sawed in neon light
Let's me know I'm alright
An ice cold glass of whiskey
Straight or mixed in a drink
Sends an amber current
To reset the way I think
The comfort of one true friend
Who knows me like a book
Knowing he won't judge me
Soothes my aching pain
Country music, whiskey, and one good friend
Mix those three together
And my soul will be on the mend
If you see me in a tavern
A pub, bar, or saloon
The whiskey in my glass is there
To ease my worried mind
That jukebox playing country tunes
Is soothing my damaged pride
Come sit down and join me
We'll raise our glasses high to
Country music, whiskey, and one good friend
We'll mix those three together
And our souls will be on the mend
