Pour me a double shot of whiskey and an ice cold beer.
Pour me a double shot of whiskey and an ice cold beer
So I can finally make my foggy mind crystal clear
Play a song that makes the memories last forever
Tell me a joke or a story that’s clever
How does the pain end when you can’t let go
It ends up in the open when you have cards you’ve yet to show
Pour me a double shot of whiskey and an ice cold beer
For they mix well with the salty flavor of a tear
Saying goodbye doesn’t always come easy for me
Letting go seems as hard as can be
Tears, whiskey and beers flow at a cost
When they all run together it’s at a loss
Staring at the world through the bottom of your glass
In the school of hard knocks I am at the head of the class
Broken hearted memories show like movies in my mind
Fragments of a happy life seems to be hard to find
Pour me a double shot of whiskey and an ice cold beer
For they mix well with the salty flavor of a tear
Blurry thoughts, slurred words and a bible verse to read
Helping myself push on no matter how hard it is to succeed
Knocked down many time but back on my feet I stand
Dealing with so much without a drink is hard to understand
Call it a crutch or addiction is truly fine with me
Yet without I seem lost in this world as blind as can be
Sip after sip I gain my composure and find peace
The pain, the troubles and the racing mind cease
Pour me one last double shot of whiskey and an ice cold beer
I think it’s time I face my demons head on and get out of here
