Sitting here most of the night Sipping this beer, feeling all right With my old buddies lined up at the bar Jukebox playing soft and low About to pay my tab, hit the road Just my luck, someone played that song Now I'm switching to whiskey Before the memory gets me Fill it to the top Let it burn me all the way down I'm gonna drown my sorrow Sober up tomorrow Tonight I fly so high I can't be found 'Til I don't care that she don't even miss me I'm switching to whiskey I can see her now plain as day The night she took my breath away Dancing like a carousel on fire Through the barroom smoke her blue eyеs shining Holding her like she was minе And the beer ain't strong enough to ease my mind Now I'm switching to whiskey Before the memory gets me Fill it to the top Let it burn me all the way down I'm gonna drown my sorrow Sober up tomorrow Tonight I fly so high I can't be found I'm gonna lean on Jack shot for shot I'm gonna match these tears drop for drop I need something strong To wash the pain away I'm switching to whiskey I'm switching to whiskey Yeah I'm gonna drown my sorrow Sober up tomorrow Tonight I fly so high I can't be found 'Til I don't care that she don't even miss me I'm switching to whiskey
