I can tell he's been with you
On nights like this
And when you come on strong
He just can't resist
You don't know all the hell
You've put me through
And he can't let me go
When he's holding you
Hey whiskey
Why you gotta make him miss me
Why he's only call me up
When he throws you down
Wanting me more with every round
Hey bourbon
Why you gotta leave him burning
And feeling that old flame
He used to have
When he was with me
Hey whiskey
I'm only on his mind
When you go to his head
And he starts pouring out
All the words he never said
How can either one
Of us start moving on
When every night he spends with you
Reminds him that I'm gone
Hey whiskey
Why you gotta make him miss me
Why's he only call me up
When he throws you down
Wanting me more with every round
Hey bourbon
Why you gotta leave him burning
And feeling that old flame
He used to have when he was with me
Hey whiskey
Why am I the one that ends up feeling empty
Hey whiskey
Why you gotta make him miss me
Why's he only call me up
When he throws you down
Wanting me more with every round
Hey bourbon
Why you gotta leave him burning
And feeling that old flame
He used to have when he was with me
Hey whiskey
Oh whiskey
