lyrics

Whiskey Why word and lyrics copyright Dean Bonzani 6.11.10

Whiskey why do I want you tonight
And whiskey when will I see you again
She says she knows we've been together
Now it's up to me whether it will be you or her
Oh, whiskey why does life have to ask these kinds of questions

Whiskey why do I dream of your sweetness
And whiskey when will I taste your golden kisses
She says she'll make an upright man out of me
But she wants me to be something that I will never be
Oh, whiskey why are there tears in her eyes

Ooooooh, you make me glow inside
You drive the worries from my mind
When I'm holding you, I never want to let you go

Whiskey why do I need you
And whiskey why am I not the kind of guy who can just leave you
She says she hates what you do to me
And she has run out of every ounce of sympathy
Oh, whiskey why do I feel like a sailor who's lost at sea
Oooooh, you keep me warm inside
You drive these worries from my mind
When I'm holding you, I never want to let you go

She says she hates what you've done to me
Whiskey put me out of my misery
Oh, whiskey why all these kinds of decisions

Oh, whiskey why
Oh, whiskey why
Oh, whiskey why
Oh, whiskey why
Oh, whiskey why is she leaving
