"Whiskey Around It" lyrics

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 your fender and you hit me with goodbye
I'm floating up 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 your fender and you hit me with goodbye
I'm floating up 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

Girl 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 your fender and you hit me with goodbye
I'm floating up 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

Me lovin' you girl, I can't whiskey around it
