Lyrics
I fell out of bed feet full of lead
And a head filled with "what did I say"?
One cigarette I'm the king of regret
But I sink 'em like it's my last day
As I numb all the pain I see memory lane
It's all coming back to me now
I try to be cool but I drink like a fool
And I always wanna buy another round
Tell me why did it have to be whisky?
Why did it have to be you?
Why did I have to get so damn drunk
That the worst of me shone through?
I was drinking with my demons
And we drank the whole place dry
Why did it have to be whisky?
Why whisky why?
Bar after bar shot after shot
I thought I had it under control
Two bottle deep making plans I won't keep
Maybe run away to Mexico?
In a bit of a whirl I proposed to a girl
Her fella didn't really approve
Cos all that I kissed was the back of his fist
Now my smile is missing one front tooth
(Tell me why)
Tell me why did it have to be whisky?
Why did it have to be you?
Why did I have to get so damn drunk
That the worst of me shone through?
I was drinking with my demons
And we drank the whole place dry
(Tell me why)
Why did it have to be whisky?
Why whisky why?
I’m never drinking again
(I'm never gonna take a drink again)
I’ll see you out at the weekend
Tell me why did it have to be whisky?
Why did it have to be you?
Why did I have to get so damn drunk
That the worst of me shone through?
(I was drinking)
I was drinking with my demons
And we drank the whole place dry
(Tell me why)
Why did it have to be whisky?
Why whisky why?
Why whisky why?
Why whisky why?
Tell me why whisky why?
Tell my why, why, why whisky why?
Tell me why, why, why, why, why whisky why?
Whisky why? Whisky why?
