Whiskey Blues
Heartbreak in a Bottle: Cody Bolden's Whiskey Blues Unveiled
Lyrics
I thought I had it figured out
I thought I had life figured out
A dog a woman and a house
Believed in the stability of a dog, a woman, and a house
But you learned me about
You taught me a lesson
Trusting in your spouse
About the betrayal of trusting a spouse
I pulled a 12 hour shift
Worked a long 12-hour shift
Came home to rest my head
Came home tired to rest
Thats where I found
Discovered another man in my bed
Another dude in my bed
Confronting infidelity
I got the whiskey blues
Experiencing deep sadness and regret
All because of you
Attributing the pain to the partner
All these bottles were brown
Recalling when whiskey bottles were opaque
But now they're all see through
Now they are transparent, symbolizing clarity
I got the whiskey blues
Continuing to feel the sorrow
All because of you
Blaming the partner for the emotional state
What used to burn from desire
Previous passion transformed into a numbing substance
Now burns from 90 proof or higher
Alcohol, especially strong (90 proof or higher), replaces desire
I got in a quite a routine
Established a routine with alcohol
With a brown paper sack
Using a brown paper sack, indicative of concealment
Start with a glass of Jim Beam
Starting with Jim Beam
Then wash it down with Jack
Continuing with Jack Daniel's
As the night rolls on
As the night progresses, seeking solace in moonshine
I find my way to the shine
Expressing the enduring impact of the partner
And when the whiskey is all gone
Even when the whiskey is depleted
You still linger on my mind
The partner's memory persists
I got the whiskey blues
Continued struggle with the emotional aftermath
All because of you
Blaming the partner for the ongoing blues
All these bottles were brown
Reflecting on the change in bottle transparency
But now they're all see through
Linking transparency to emotional clarity
I got the whiskey blues
Persevering through the persistent emotional pain
All because of you
Continuing to attribute the blues to the partner
What used to burn from desire
Reiterating the transformation from desire to alcohol
Now burns from 90 proof or higher
Emphasizing the high proof of the consumed alcohol
I got the whiskey blues
Reiterating the enduring emotional impact
All because of you
Blaming the partner for the lingering blues
All these bottles were brown
Observing the change in bottle appearance
But now they're all see through
Associating transparency with a changed emotional state
I got the whiskey blues
Persisting through the enduring emotional struggle
All because of you
Continuing to attribute the blues to the partner
What used to burn from desire
Reiterating the transformation from desire to alcohol
Now burns from 90 proof or higher
Emphasizing the high proof of the consumed alcohol
