Time To Switch To Whiskey

(album: Five Dollar Bill - 2002)

Well, I like a full bodied lager as much as the next hard working man
That taste of suds while dealing stud I can surely understand
Trucker speed and yes indeed it's nearly getting light
It's time to switch to whiskey we been drinking beer all night

You can fish for bass and cut your grass and drink that purple gas
Sho' nuff, but the powerful stuff that'll knock you on your ass
Is like diesel fuel, and nobody's fool is gonna wanna get left behind
It's time to switch to whiskey we been drinking beer all night

Well, it's time to switch to whiskey we been drinking beer all night
We're all half dead and them that's left are spoiling for a fight
Who'd 'a thunk, we're quit drinking drunk, now boys don't spare the rye
It's time to switch to whiskey we been drinking beer all night

I've been splitting 8's 'n' hitting my straights in the cardrooms of the world
Chasing skirt and getting hurt but now I got card playing girl
But man she gets excited when the deal don't come out right
It's time to switch to whiskey we been drinking beer all night

Well, it's time to switch to whiskey we been drinking beer all night
We're all half dead and them that's left are spoiling for a fight
Who'd 'a thunk, we're quit drinking drunk, now boys don't spare the rye
It's time to switch to whiskey we been drinking beer all night

Well, I've heard it said that you can get some heat in Irish pubs
Serving Jamesons to an Orangeman and Bushmills to his cuz
Here's what you do with Tullamore Dew, you can meet 'em both halfway
It's time to switch to whiskey, they've been drinking beer all day

Well, it's time to switch to whiskey we been drinking beer all night
We're all half dead and them that's left are spoiling for a fight
Who'd 'a thunk, we're quit drinking drunk, now boys don't spare the rye
It's time to switch to whiskey we been drinking beer all night

Yeah, it's time to switch to whiskey we been drinking beer all night
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cried
