I can tell he's been with you on nights like this

And when you come on strong, he just can't resist

You don't know all the hell you've put me through

And he can't let me go, when he's holding you

Hey whiskey, why you gotta make him miss me?

Why's he only call me up when he throws you down?

Wanting me more with every round

Hey bourbon, why you gotta leave him burning?

And feeling that old flame he used to have when he was with me

Hey whiskey

I'm only on his mind when you go to his head

And he starts pouring out, all the words he never said

How can either one of us start moving on

When every night he spends with you reminds him that I'm gone

Hey whiskey, why you gotta make him miss me?

Why's he only call me up when he throws you down?

Wanting me more with every round

Hey bourbon, why you gotta leave him burning?

And feeling that old flame he used to have when he was with me

Hey whiskey

Why am I the one that ends up feeling empty

Hey whiskey, why you gotta make him miss me?

Why's he only call me up when he throws you down?

Wanting me more with every round

Hey bourbon, why you gotta leave him burning?

And feeling that old flame he used to have when he was with me

Hey whiskey

Oh whiskey
