Whiskey In Reverse

I'm sittin' on a rerun couch

Lookin' 'round at an empty house

Hungover, tryin' to figure out

Just how the hell that I got here

Can't blame it on Colorado

Tanqueray, no reposado

I could try but I know that I sure

Can't blame it on ice cold beer

There's an empty Jack bottle by the coffee cup

Did a lot more hurt than good

Girl, I know that I can't fill it back up

But if I could

You'd be backin' in the driveway

You'd be un-saying "I'm leaving"

I'd be pullin' my fist from the drywall

Watchin' my bloody knuckles start healing

I wouldn't have a worst enemy

I'd be un-slammin' that bedroom door

It'd be a better version of me

Like I used to be

Like I was before

Your bags are packed and your keys were in your purse

If I could drink whiskey in reverse

If I could keep turnin' back time

To my seventeen-self

And tell me the first pull of that stuff

Will lead you to leavin'

I would've drank anything else

Oh, but that ain't the case

I took it down like a wild-eyed country boy would

Girl, and I know I can't fill it back up

But if I could

You'd be backin' in the driveway

You'd be un-saying "I'm leaving"

I'd be pullin' my fist from the drywall

Watchin' my bloody knuckles start healing

I wouldn't have a worst enemy

I'd be un-slammin' that bedroom door

It'd be a better version of me

Like I used to be

Like I was before

Your bags are packed and your keys were in your purse

If I could drink whiskey in reverse

It's a damn shame

The sun don't set in the East

'Cause that's the only way

You'd ever come back to me

You'd be backin' in the driveway

You'd be un-saying "I'm leaving"

I'd be pullin' my fist from the drywall

Watchin' my bloody knuckles start healing

I wouldn't have a worst enemy

I'd be un-slammin' that bedroom door

It'd be a better version of me

Like I used to be

Like I was before

Your bags are packed and your keys are in your purse

If I could drink whiskey in reverse
