She caught me on the back porch once again In the middle of a fight, we both knew I couldn't win Then she came up from behind and took my glass And she said, "Hold me instead and soon the urge will pass" And then she whispered, "I'm forever by your side And together we can beat this thing One step at a time" And then she kissed me and it moved me Yeah, she took away the fear and pain And gave something new to soothe me She said she needs me, oh, and she loves me And with a woman as strong as that Yeah, who needs the whiskey? Well, I kept my weakness hidden for so long Oh, but she gave me the strength to admit that I'd been wrong And when I asked her why she stood right by my side She said, you'd do the same for me with tears in her eyes And then she wrapped her arms around me and held me close And said if ever you need something strong Well, baby just let me know And then she kissed me and it moved me Yeah, she took away the fear and pain And gave something new to soothe me She said, she needs me and she loves me And with a woman as strong as that Yeah, who needs the whiskey? She says, she loves me and she'd never leave me And with a woman as strong as that Yeah, with a woman as strong as that Well, who needs the whiskey? No, I'm free Yeah, who needs the whiskey?
