You thought I'd die when you said goodbye For a minute I thought that I would And there for awhile couldn't even fake a smile Even if the bad joke sounded good I went off the rails Thought hell, might as well Rock bottom was callin' my name But lookin' back now I oughta be In the movin' on hall-of-fame It wasn't my buddies It wasn't my mama It wasn't no self-help how-to It wasn't old records It wasn't old flings Or dancin' with somebody new Tequila made me crazy Cold beer wouldn't do So I whiskey'd my way over you You saw me out on a Friday downtown With a smile that came stumblin' back in Guess that killed your mood 'cause you did what you do Turned around and walked out again So pour a little more bourbon Oh, it's the only thing been workin' It wasn't my buddies It wasn't my mama It wasn't no self-help how-to It wasn't old records It wasn't old flings Or dancin' with somebody new Tequila made me crazy Cold beer wouldn't do So I whiskey'd my way over you Whiskey'd my way Whiskey'd my way Oh, oh, keep the bar keep workin' Oh, oh, pour it on this hurtin' It wasn't my buddies It wasn't my momma It wasn't no self-help how-to It wasn't old records And it wasn't old flings Or dancin' with somebody new Tequila made me crazy Cold beer wouldn't do So I whiskey'd my way over you Tequila didn't cut it Cold beer was no use So I whiskey'd my way over you
