Whiskey for the Sober

Intro

Verse 1 Whiskey on the shelf — three years dust Kept the bottle, killed the man Buddy still asks if I miss it I say I drink a different brand Iron's got a burn that lasts Doesn't make me say things wrong Doesn't put my daughter's number On a stranger's old voicemail song

Pre-Chorus What I needed What I had Two different things, looking back

Chorus Whiskey for the sober Iron in the glass I never pour Bar took my body, took the thirst Pour it for the man I'm not no more

Verse 2 Buddy died at forty-three Bottle won, he didn't get the say I went to the funeral in lifting clothes Couldn't find the church gray Pastor said he was a good man I said yeah, when he wasn't drinking Sat in the truck for forty minutes Iron pulling, bottle thinking

Pre-Chorus What I needed What I had Two different things, looking back

Chorus Whiskey for the sober Iron in the glass I never pour Bar took my body, took the thirst Pour it for the man I'm not no more

Bridge First year, every Friday at six I'd drive past the bar like a moth Now I drive past at four AM On my way to the only thing that's mine Whiskey for the sober Iron in the glass I never pour Bar took my body, took the thirst Pour it for the man I'm not no more Pour it for the man I'm not no more
