Whiskey Bent

(album: Leather - 2023)

[Cody Johnson:]
It put a hole in my wallet, put a hole in my wall
It put a whole lotta lonely in this 2 AM phone call
It put your Honda on the highway and my Chevy in a ditch
Just had to call you up 'cause I ain't touched that stuff ever since

It made me say some things I shouldn't
Made me break some things I wouldn't
Like the heart that you kept putting in my hand
Got me picking up the pieces
Getting back in touch with Jesus
For some grace in case one of y'all comes back again
I'm just trying to straighten up what whiskey bent

[Jelly Roll:]
Now I'm still paying for it, but it ain't on a tab
It's all the dreaming of instead of waking up to the best I ever had
And I've been spending every second waiting for that second chance
That I might not even have

'Cause it made me say some things I shouldn't
Made me break some things I wouldn't
Like the heart that you kept putting in my hands
Got me picking up the pieces
Falling back in love with Jesus
And praying one of y'all comes back again
I'm just trying to straighten up what whiskey bent

[Cody Johnson:]
It made me say some things I shouldn't
Made me break some things I wouldn't
Like the heart that you kept putting in my hand
It's got me picking up the pieces
Getting back in touch with Jesus
For some grace in case one of y'all comes back again
But until then
I'll be trying to straighten up what whiskey bent

[Jelly Roll:]
What whiskey bent
