Wastin' Whiskey

That first sip might as well be water
From the second that it hits my lips
Same old burn anew, why the hell bother
If it's always going down like this?

I could take this bottom half of this fifth of Jack
And pour it right down the drain
Or just stay right here 'til the glass is clear
You ain't coming back either way

I've been keeping the boys real busy
Down in Lynchburg, Tennessee
Got this front porch tab wide open
Could kill the bottle but you'll still be killing me
This black label band aid
Ain't working like it supposed to, it ain't no use
'Til they start making something missing you proof
It don't matter how much when I'm drinking 'bout us
Maybe I'm just wasting whiskey
(Maybe I'm just wasting)

Out to grab all your things out the closet
Every picture, every old pair of jeans
Pile them up in the back
Take a pull, strike a match
And pour that bottom shelf out like gasoline
It'd do more than it's doing for me

I've been keeping the boys real busy
Down in Lynchburg, Tennessee
Got this front porch tab wide open
Could kill the bottle but you'll still be killing me
This black label band aid
Ain't working like it supposed to, it ain't no use
'Til they start making something, missing you proof
It don't matter how much when I'm drinking 'bout us
Baby, I'm just wasting whiskey
(I'm just wasting whiskey)

Or just stay right here 'til the glass is clear
You ain't coming back either way

I've been keeping the boys real busy
Down in Lynchburg, Tennessee
Got this front porch tab wide open
I killed the bottle, girl, but you're still killing me
This black label band-aid
Ain't working like it supposed to, it ain't no use
'Til they start making something missing you proof
It don't matter how much when I'm drinking 'bout us
Baby, I'm just wasting whiskey
(I'm just wasting whiskey)

Yeah, baby I'm just wasting whiskey (I'm just wasting whiskey)
(I'm just wasting whiskey)
