Lyrics
My family came from Ireland years ago
And I learned some things about whiskey you should know
It's an ancient secret shared by Celtic Clans
And once it's passed your lips you'll be a stronger man
Hold it up to the sunlight and you'll see pure gold
Studies show it can even cure the common cold
There's no end to what it can do for you
I've learned firsthand just what whiskey can do
It helps an anxious racing heart slow down
And changes your face into a smile from a frown
But too much of a good thing can be bad for you
And that's rule number one of just what whiskey can do
Hold it up to the sunlight and you'll see pure gold
Studies show it can even cure the common cold
There's no end to what it can do for you
I've learned firsthand just what whiskey can do
It will warm your body on a freezing night
And you'll feel better when things aren't going right
A shot will leave you smiling in a better place
But one too many and you'll end up on your face
Hold it up to the sunlight and you'll see pure gold
Studies show it can even cure the common cold
There's no end to what it can do for you
I've learned firsthand just what whiskey can do
Hold it up to the sunlight and you'll see pure gold
Studies show it can even cure the common cold
There's no end to what it can do for you
I've learned firsthand just what whiskey can do
Yeah, I've learned firsthand just what whiskey can do
