[Verse 1]
I can shoot tequila straight when I'm out with my friends
I can unwind on a little wine, baby, yeah, I can
I can drink an ice-cold beer when I clock out of that dirt
But there's something 'bout that Tennessee, girl, that never works

[Pre-Chorus]
They say it's the cure, but not this time
And that's the reason why, huh

[Chorus]
I hate whiskey
It just keeps me up and thinking 'bout us
That's all it does
It doesn't burn your memory, it just lights it up
Yeah, I hate whiskey
'Cause it only gets me drunk on you, on us
(I hate whiskey)

[Verse 2]
It never goes down smooth, now it always burns
I'm just the same fool on the same stool, girl, I never learn
It's a temporary fix to your permanent goodbye
That proof is in that 90 proof, and it keeps proving you right, so

[Chorus]
I hate whiskey
It just keeps me up and thinking 'bout us
That's all it does
It doesn't burn your memory, it just lights it up
Yeah, I hate whiskey
'Cause it only gets me drunk on you, on us
(I hate whiskey)
Hell, it only gets me drunk on you, on us
(I hate whiskey)
[Bridge]
It tastes like I still love you, girl, on ice
And that's the reason why

[Chorus]
I hate whiskey
It just keeps me up and thinking 'bout us
That's all it does
It doesn't burn your memory, it just lights it up
Yeah, I hate whiskey
'Cause it only gets me drunk on you, on us
(I hate whiskey)
Hell, it only gets me drunk on you, on us
(I hate whiskey)

[Outro]
(I hate whiskey)
(I hate whiskey)
