Whiskey Kind of Way
Whiskey Echoes: Love's Lingering Sip
Lyrics
I hardly ever think about her
I rarely think about her.
I seldom say "I can't live without her"
I seldom express that I can't live without her.
Till I hold a drink an' sit at the bar
Thoughts of her come to mind when I hold a drink and sit at the bar.
A sip an' it all goes straight to my heart
A sip of alcohol intensifies my emotions, affecting my heart deeply.
Like that song on the jukebox
A specific song on the jukebox triggers memories of her.
Her memory starts to play
Her memory becomes vivid as the song plays.
Guess I still want her
Despite saying it's over, I still desire her.
In a whiskey kind of way
My longing for her is expressed through the influence of whiskey.
An' when I'm sober, I say it's over
When sober, I declare the relationship is done.
She can't get to me
She can't emotionally affect me when I'm not drinking.
I'm a million miles away
I feel emotionally distant and removed from her memories.
From her memory
Despite being physically distant, her memory lingers.
They say the truth comes out
The truth surfaces when alcohol is consumed.
When you're drinkin'
Drinking brings out honest emotions.
I've been drinkin' 'bout her all day
My thoughts revolve around her throughout the day.
Guess I still want her in a whiskey kind of way
My desire for her is revealed through the influence of whiskey.
I talk to Joe behind the counter
I share my feelings about her with Joe and others at the bar.
And every fool I meet, about her
Discussing her with everyone I meet, expressing my emotions.
I steel my heart to anyone
I guard my emotions from anyone who might buy me a drink.
Who'll buy a drink for the lonely one
Resisting emotional connection with those who try to help.
What ran her off's had her runnin'
Her reasons for leaving occupy my thoughts constantly.
Through my mind all day
Her actions play in my mind continuously.
Guess I still need her in a whiskey kind of way
Despite needing her, I mask it with the influence of whiskey.
An' when I'm sober, I say
When sober, I reaffirm that it's over and she can't affect me.
"It's over, she can't get to me
Expressing emotional distance when not under the influence.
I'm a million miles away from her memory"
Physically and emotionally distant from her memory.
They say the truth comes out
Truth emerges during moments of drinking.
When you're drinkin'
Alcohol exposes genuine feelings.
I've been drinkin' 'bout her all day
Throughout the day, my thoughts are consumed by her.
Guess I still love her in a whiskey kind of way
My love for her is confessed through the influence of whiskey.
Oh, don't the truth comes out
Reiterating that truth emerges when drinking.
When you're drinkin'
Continuously thinking about her while consuming alcohol.
I've been drinkin' 'bout her all day
Admitting love for her, especially when influenced by whiskey.
Guess I still love her in a whiskey kind of way
Expressing love for her in a way influenced by the effects of whiskey.
