He drives like hell to get over the past Yeah he knows, those broken hearts don't last But there's something in the air tonight Yeah that whiskey has a little more bite That handle helps him say what his hearts been holding back Cause there's a fire growing with every Fireball shot And there's a tear held back with every thought about him and her No He can't find a cure and It's grab another bottle, pour another round Till those old memories quit coming around He can't help it happens, it's just habit Cause this ain't the mixture for his remedy It's half whiskey, half lonely Well he knows this ain't how to cope with the pain But that jack on the rocks helps ease the strain That hurt he feels inside there ain't nothing that'll help his fight So that bourbon that keeps saying what his hearts been holding back Cause there's a fire growing with every Fireball shot And there's a tear held back with every thought about him and her No He can't find a cure and It's grab another bottle, pour another round Till those old memories quit coming around He can't help it happens, it's just habit Cause this ain't the mixture for his remedy It's half whiskey, half lonely He can't help the way he feels There's too much pain to deal with it by himself The whiskey always tells that poor boy the broken truth That she's gone with someone new and she ain't turning back So there's no use Cause there's a fire growing with every Fireball shot And there's a tear held back with every thought about him and her No He can't find a cure and It's grab another bottle, pour another round Till those old memories quit coming around He can't help it happens, it's just habit Cause this ain't the mixture for his remedy It's half whiskey, half lonely
