Lyrics

The Whiskey Song
Words and Music: Mark David Manders

This guitar sure sounds sweeter when you’re drinking that old whiskey
And it ain’t been out of tune in a long, long while
And from the looks you’re giving me I can tell you’re getting frisky
And you know what it takes to make me smile
And I ain’t much on old love songs
Hurting songs and drinking’s more my style
And I never say forever ‘cause forever’s just too damn long
But I could hang with you for a while
When I was a young man I came across some money
Through it all away on a long shot bet
But now I’m working steady, and since I met you, Honey
There’s few things in life that I regret
And I ain’t much on old love songs
Hurting songs and drinking’s more my style
And I never say forever ‘cause forever’s just too damn long
But I could hang with you for a while
