I tried to be who you thought you found

A little more buttoned up

And a little less burn it down

It wasn't long before you figured out

This cowboy don't fit in that far uptown

Been a minute since I went and tipped it all the way back

And just like that

I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me

The guy that shows up when they pour em on strong

A little laid back little more wild and free

You ain't the only one that's bout to be gone

Gonna sit here by the jukebox and get a little bit tipsy

With a Marlboro this new girl and this bottle that's about empty

While you're looking for the guy you wanted me to be

I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me

Floating on this barstool high

I feel right at home with this glowing open neon sign

It's good to hear a country song

I could sit here all night long

I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me

The guy that shows up when they pour em on strong

A little laid back little more wild and free

You ain't the only one that's bout to be gone

Gonna sit here by the jukebox and get a little bit tipsy

With a Marlboro this new girl and this bottle that's about empty

While you're looking for the guy you wanted me to be

I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me

Been a minute since I went and tipped it all the way back

And just like that

I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me

The guy that shows up when they pour em on strong

A little laid back little more wild and free

You ain't the only one that's bout to be gone

Gonna sit here by the jukebox and get a little bit tipsy

With a Marlboro this new girl and this bottle that's about empty

While you're looking for the guy you wanted me to be

I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me
