If Whiskey Were Knives (Stripped Back)

Well, her cannon's been loose for a while
She took too many drugs yeah they crossed all her wires
Now she breathes like a glass of whiskey
If whiskey were a fire

Yeah, she's got a lot on her mind
She'll say what she wants
She don't ever think twice
Like a smooth glass of whiskey
If whiskey were knives

She's rough round the edges
And oh she burns like the sun
Well, the devil dulled down her mind
But she damn sure still got a sharp tongue
Her words cut so deep
They might as well draw blood
She's a smooth glass of whiskey
If whiskey were a loaded gun

Stapleton used to be right
Cuz she used to be sweet as strawberry wine
Now she's smooth as that Tennessee whiskey
If whiskey were knives

There's no use in tryin to fight
She'll blow the roof off if you step out of line
Like a strong glass whiskey
If whiskey were a land mine

She's rough round the edges
And oh she burns like the sun
Yeah, the devil dulled down her mind
But she damn sure still got a sharp tongue
Her words cut so deep
They might as well draw blood
She's a strong glass of whiskey
If whiskey were a loaded gun

She's a strong glass of whiskey
If whiskey were a loaded gun

Yeah, she's a smooth glass of whiskey
If whiskey were a loaded gun
