Whiskey Side

(album: George Birge - 2022)

I tried to be who you thought you found
A little more buttoned up
And a little less burn it down
It wasn't long before you figured out
This cowboy don't fit in that far uptown

Been a minute since I went and tipped it all the way back
And just like that

I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me
The guy that shows up when they pour em on strong
A little laid back little more wild and free
You ain't the only one that's bout to be gone
Gonna sit here by the jukebox and get a little bit tipsy
With a Marlboro this new girl and this bottle that's about empty
While you're looking for the guy you wanted me to be
I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me

Floating on this barstool high
I feel right at home with this glowing open neon sign
It's good to hear a country song
I could sit here all night long

I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me
The guy that shows up when they pour em on strong
A little laid back little more wild and free
You ain't the only one that's bout to be gone
Gonna sit here by the jukebox and get a little bit tipsy
With a Marlboro this new girl and this bottle that's about empty
While you're looking for the guy you wanted me to be
I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me

Been a minute since I went and tipped it all the way back
And just like that

I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me
The guy that shows up when they pour em on strong
A little laid back little more wild and free
You ain't the only one that's bout to be gone
Gonna sit here by the jukebox and get a little bit tipsy
With a Marlboro this new girl and this bottle that's about empty
While you're looking for the guy you wanted me to be
I'm catching up with the whiskey side of me
