Whiskey Around It

[Verse 1]
Black Label on the kitchen table
Beside a low ball glass that's sittin' on E
Sundown sippin' while the needle's slippin'
Through a George Jones vinyl Side B
I'm three drinks deep on a Tullahoma high
But I already know where it's goin' tonight

[Chorus]
I've been tryna get a handle on missin' on you
But all that got me was a handle on this ninety proof
It's been a hell of a hell and back bender
Since the gravel hit the fender and you hit me with goodbye
I'm floatin' up a G.D. creek without a prayer
Gettin' gone over you ain't gettin' me nowhere
It's no usе, no two ways about it
Me lovin' you, girl, I can't whiskey around it

[Verse 2]
I've triеd straight shootin' my way through it
I'm still stuck between on the rocks and the heartache
It's clear as a bottle at the bottom
There ain't no drownin' this blue-eyed problem

[Chorus]
I've been tryna get a handle on missin' on you
But all that got me was a handle on this ninety proof
It's been a hell of a hell and back bender
Since the gravel hit the fender and you hit me with goodbye
I'm floatin' up a G.D. creek without a prayer
Gettin' gone over you ain't gettin' me nowhere
It's no use, no two ways about it
Me lovin' you, girl, I can't whiskey around it

[Post-Chorus]
Mhm

[Bridge]
This ninety ain't nothin'
No, it ain't nothin' on you
I could swear that I'm over it
But I can't drink it true

[Chorus]
I've been tryna get a handle on missin' on you
But all that got me was a handle on this ninety proof
It's been a hell of a hell and back bender
Since the gravel hit the fender and you hit me with goodbye
I'm floatin' up a G.D. creek without a prayer
Gettin' gone over you ain't gettin' me nowhere
It's no use, no two ways about it
Me lovin' you, girl, I can't whiskey around it

[Outro]
I can't, no, I can't whiskey around it
Me lovin' you, girl, I can't whiskey around it
