Whiskey On Ice - Jesse Ruben

They met in the back of a bar somewhere outside Atlanta

And she gave him a wink when he ordered a whiskey on ice

She said, «Cowboy, I don’t trust you one little bit»

He said, «You should go back to the man that you’re with here tonight»

Here tonight

Here tonight

And she said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you

I don’t know how much I’m going to lose in this fight

I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you

But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try»

Seven days later she came to his door with the letters

That she wrote late at night as she tried not to cry in her room

She said, «Somewhere inside I know you’re a good man»

He said, «I try to hide it as best as I can»

It’s too soon

Way too soon

And he said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you

I don’t know how much it’s going to damage my pride

I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you

But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try»

Many years later he met her alone on a sidewalk

She asked «Are you still drinking whiskey, or have you moved on?»

He said, «I'm not the man that I was when we met»

She said, «I'm not the woman I was way back then.

We were young, way too young»

And they both said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you

I don’t know how much I’m going to lose in this fight

I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you

But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try»

Cause they both said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you

But I wanna know what it’s like when you kiss me goodnight

I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you

But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try

Baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try»
