Smooth Shot Of Whiskey

(album: Touch Of You: The Lost Songs Of Gary Stewart - 2020)

The only good thing that's turned up for us lately
Has been the bottom of a glass

What have you been up to lately?
I just been kicking 'round alone
Did you hear my wife just left me?
I came home last night and mine was gone
Whaddya you say
We go have a drink
And talk about the cold facts of life?
With the hell me and you
Have had our hearts drug through
We could drink about it all night

Over a smooth shot of whiskey
We could go through a lot of mem'ries
Life has been rough on us lately
And I'll drink to that
Pour another smooth shot of whiskey
Just toast the blue side of mis'ry
The only good thing that's turned up for us lately
Has been the bottom of a glass

Do you remember when I got married?
How could I forget, I was the best man
But a lot of things have changed since then
That neither of us had planned
You lost yours
And I lost mine
There's a lot of that going 'round these days
Well it's hard to believe
That we'd ever see
The two of us hurting this way

Over a smooth shot of whiskey
We could go through a lot of mem'ries
Life has been rough on us lately
And I'll drink to that
Pour another smooth shot of whiskey
Just toast the blue side of mis'ry
The only good thing that's turned up for us lately
Has been the bottom of a glass

The only good thing that's turned up for us lately
Has been the bottom of a glass
Pour another smooth shot of whiskey
