Whiskey Around It Songtext
von Jade Eagleson

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 3 drinks deep on a Tullahoma high
But I already know where it′s goin' tonight

I′ve been tryin' to get a handle on missin′ on you
But all it got me was a handle on this 90 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 floating 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

I tried straight shootin' my way through it
I′m still stuck between on the rocks and a heartache
It's clear as a bottle at the bottom
There ain′t no drownin' this blue eyed problem


I've been tryin′ to get a handle on missin′ on you
But all it got me was a handle on this 90 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 floating 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

This ninety ain′t nothin′
No it ain't nothin′ on you
And I can swear that I'm over it but I can′t drink it true

I've been tryin′ to get a handle on missin' on you
But all it got me was a handle on this 90 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 floating 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
I can′t, no I can't whiskey around it
Me lovin' you girl, I can′t whiskey around it
