Put the Whiskey Down

I woke up this mornin', almost to my bed
I still got my boots on, hurtin' in my head
What the hell was I thinkin'? Another déjà vu
But you can bet this evenin', I'll do what I always do

I put the whiskey down
Count me in on the groove
Turn it up, turn it loud, boys
Pickin' them country blues

Keep 'em out on the dance floor
Keep 'em drinkin' 'til there ain't no more
'Til they turn on the lights and call it a night
Let's put the whiskey down

Every honky-tonk hero I've ever known
Got a taste for the hard stuff
Old Gary Stewart's songs
Singin' "Ten Years Together"
Drinkin' doubles tonight
'Til every glass is empty
And every bottle is dry

I put the whiskey down
Count me in on the groove
Turn it up, turn it loud, boys
Pickin' them country blues

Keep 'em out on the dance floor
Keep 'em drinkin' 'til there ain't no more
'Til they turn on the lights
And call it a night
Let's put the whiskey down

Let's put the whiskey down
Count me in on the groove
Turn it up, turn it loud, boys
Pickin' them country blues

Keep 'em out on the dance floor
Keep 'em drinkin' 'til there ain't no more
'Til they turn on the lights
And call it a night
Let's put the whiskey down

'Til they turn on the lights
And call it a night
Let's put the whiskey down
