It's just a song about Whiskey
A friend some have known
Once you try whiskey
You can't leave it alone

There's a mountain man
Living in a world that's long gone
Expecting a short life span
Living as free as he can
But it gets lonely sometimes
With no one around
So he gets down
To another reality

With a bottle of whiskey
A friend he has known
Once you try whiskey
You can't leave it alone

There's a lady of a kind
Working the streets on Broadway
And there's no one to care
How she even got there
She was a night bird
She used to sing
But nobody heard
And the only way that she could start the day
Was with a bottle of whiskey

Well, I know a cowboy
Who couldn't see straight for three years running
When he finally gave it up

He named his horse Whiskey
A friend I have known
Once you try whiskey
You can't leave it alone

It's just a song about Whiskey
Just a song about Whiskey
Whiskey now
Whiskey
I want to drink a toast to Whiskey now
Here's to Whiskey
One more time now
Just a song about Whiskey
Whiskey
Talking about beer and bars and people hanging out
Drinking whiskey
