If My Name Was Whiskey - Carly Pearce

When you got off work at five

I’d be the first thing on your mind

Every time

And if I wasn’t where you thought I’d be

You’d drive around 'til you found me

If it took all night

You’d press me to your lips

Say you never felt like this

And I’d be all you’d need

And you’d get drunk on me

Maybe if I was a neon light

I’d lead your car right back to my door

Oh, maybe if I was a jukebox needle dropping on a drinking song

You’d want one more

If my name was Whiskey

Maybe right now you’d miss me

You might try a different fix

A stronger shot

A harder mix

But they wouldn’t get you baby

And if everyone you know

Said you ought to let me go

You’d tell 'em they were crazy, so crazy

Maybe if I was a neon light

I’d lead your car right back to my door

Oh, maybe if I was a jukebox needle dropping on a drinking song

You’d want one more

If my name was Whiskey

Maybe right now you’d miss me…

Maybe if I was your last call

My heart wouldn’t be like glass all over the floor

Oh, maybe if I was a jukebox needle dropping on a drinking song

Then you’d want one more

If my name was Whiskey

Maybe right now you’d miss me

You never would’ve quit me

If my name was Whiskey
