When I’m Drinking Whiskey Songtext
von Erin Enderlin

I hear you asking
What am I having
I′m drinking Jack on the rocks
You can buy one for me
But boy you might be better off
With that blonde at the table
'Cause she might be able
To give you the smile that you want
Don′t mean to be rude
I'm just not in the mood for small talk


If it was red wine
You'd be just fine
′Cause I′d be on top of the world
If I was sipping on beer
When you walked in here
I might be your girl
You can light up my smoke
But don't get too close
′Cause tonight this broken heart's busy
And I′m thinking 'bout him
When I′m drinking whiskey

Proceed with caution
'Cause I've hit the bottom
Of way more than just this glass
When I′m drinking doubles
That light in the tunnel starts fading fast
Don′t get me wrong
These days I've moved on
But some nights I miss what we had
That eighty proof bourbon
Just knows how to turn the clock back


If it was red wine
You′d be just fine
'Cause I′d be on top of the world
If I was sipping on beer
When you walked in here
I might be your girl
You can light up my smoke
But don't get too close
′Cause tonight this broken heart's busy
I'm thinking ′bout him
When I′m drinking whiskey

You can light up my smoke
But don't get too close
′Cause tonight this broken heart's busy
I′m thinking 'bout him
When I′m drinking whiskey
Oh, I'm missing him
When I'm drinking whiskey
