What Whiskey Does

[Chorus]

I'm gon' light one up and sit right here

I'm gonna drink this hole-in-the-wall out of beer

And when that ice-cold beer loses its buzz

I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does

[Verse 1]

Well, maybe it'll make me lose my mind

Or maybe it'll help me forget this time

Maybe it'll put my fist through the wall

Make me pick up the phone and give you a call

Maybe it'll take me somewhere I've never been

Make the world stand still and make the whole room spin

Maybe make me dance, make me cry

Hell, I don't know, but I know tonight

[Chorus]

I'm gon' light one up and sit right here

I'm gonna drink this hole-in-the-wall out of beer

And when that ice-cold beer loses its buzz

I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does

[Verse 2]

Well, maybe it'll buy this bar a round

Or turn my ass upside-down

Maybe it'll make me a fly on the wall

Or stand me up ten feet tall

Maybe it'll take me to a better place

And put a smile back on my face

Maybe it'll make me hate myself

Or fall in love with somebody else

[Chorus]

But I'm gon' light one up and sit right here

I'm gonna drink this hole-in-the-wall out of beer

And when that ice-cold beer loses its buzz

I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does

[Bridge]

Well, maybe it'll talk me off the ledge I've been on lately

Maybe it'll heal me, maybe it'll kill me, yeah, maybe

[Chorus]

But I'm gon' light one up and sit right here

And drink this hole-in-the-wall out of beer

And when that ice-cold beer loses its buzz

I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does

[Outro]

But sometimes I sit here just because

I wanna let that whiskey do what whiskey does
