Straight No Chaser
If I had known that you'd be here,
I wouldn't have chose this bar
I wouldn't be three beers deep
Tryin' to nurse a broken heart
I paint a smile on my lips
To hide the hurt inside
But my wrinkled shirt and three-day beard
Don't do much to help the lie
So set me up a shot, straight no chaser,
Won't be needing that today
Give me anything you've got to make her
Memory go away
Cuz I've tried cigarettes and green
And anything that burns
So set me up a shot and maybe I can
Chase away the hurt
If I had known that you'd be here
I wouldn't have kissed that girl
I wouldn't have played your favorite song
And took her for a whirl
One foot forward at a time
I'll walk away from you
But I find more and more these days,
My breath is ninety proof
So set me up a shot, straight no chaser,
Won't be needing that today
Give me anything you've got to make her
Memory go away
Cuz I've tried cigarettes and green
And anything that burns
So set me up a shot and maybe I can
Chase away the hurt
When she and I get home tonight
I'll love her like it's true
But when we kiss good morning, babe,
Her lips don't taste like you
So set me up a shot, straight no chaser,
Won't be needing that today
Give me anything you've got to make her
Memory go away
Cuz I've tried cigarettes and green
And anything that burns
So set me up a shot and maybe I can
Chase away the hurt
Just another shot and maybe I can
Chase away the hurt
I wouldn't have chose this bar
I wouldn't be three beers deep
Tryin' to nurse a broken heart
I paint a smile on my lips
To hide the hurt inside
But my wrinkled shirt and three-day beard
Don't do much to help the lie
So set me up a shot, straight no chaser,
Won't be needing that today
Give me anything you've got to make her
Memory go away
Cuz I've tried cigarettes and green
And anything that burns
So set me up a shot and maybe I can
Chase away the hurt
If I had known that you'd be here
I wouldn't have kissed that girl
I wouldn't have played your favorite song
And took her for a whirl
One foot forward at a time
I'll walk away from you
But I find more and more these days,
My breath is ninety proof
So set me up a shot, straight no chaser,
Won't be needing that today
Give me anything you've got to make her
Memory go away
Cuz I've tried cigarettes and green
And anything that burns
So set me up a shot and maybe I can
Chase away the hurt
When she and I get home tonight
I'll love her like it's true
But when we kiss good morning, babe,
Her lips don't taste like you
So set me up a shot, straight no chaser,
Won't be needing that today
Give me anything you've got to make her
Memory go away
Cuz I've tried cigarettes and green
And anything that burns
So set me up a shot and maybe I can
Chase away the hurt
Just another shot and maybe I can
Chase away the hurt
