"Do Angels Drink Whiskey" lyrics

I bet Heaven tried to warn me
That I was too young and naive
Did Heaven guess, before the white dress
That I wouldn't be left in one piece
I bet Heaven tried to lead me away
From the choices I made and the broken-heart ache
I can't be the only one drinkin' to numb all the pain

Do angels drink whiskey when my tears start to shine?
Do they pour a round when I'm down?
Wonderin' how in hell I get by
Do angels get tipsy when they can't bear to watch me cry?
If angels drink whiskey, then my angels are drunk all the time

I bet Heaven hated that time that I dated
The guy with the spaceship tattoo
When he took off runnin', bet they saw it comin'
And the months of self-numbin' too
Do you think they could hear that my prayers were sincere?
That I wanted a road, wanted a hand to hold
I can't be the only one thinking that I gotta know

Do angels drink whiskey when my tears start to shine?
Do they pour a round when I'm down?
Wonderin' how in hell I get by
Do angels get tipsy when they can't bear to watch me cry?
If angels drink whiskey, then my angels are drunk all the time

And if heartbreak means shots, bet I heartbreak the bank
'Cause top-shelf liquor's all angels should drink
Two shots if I'm sad, one just for hope
They double up often, Lord knows, just to cope

Do angels drink whiskey when my tears start to shine?
Do they pour a round when I'm down?
Wonderin' how in hell I get by
Do angels get tipsy when they can't bear to watch me cry?
If angels drink whiskey, then my angels are drunk all the time

Mmh, if angels drink whiskey, then my angels are drunk all the time
