THINKIN' 'BOUT WHISKEY
Five AM and I'm off to the place I don't wanna be,
but that's a sad fact of life and the day it'll end I just can't see.
I got bills to pay and they won't go away I guarantee.
I punch the clock and I'm ready to rock at six-o-three,
but the boss mans naggin' that I come in late is really buggin' me.
He's got me thinkin' bout whiskey, At seven AM!
"When you're stuck in a rut like that and don't know what you should do,
and the landlord and the bank are really turnin' the screws.
You gotta step on back, take a look at your life, maybe a hot cup of coffee might set things right?
Just a quick evaluation of your current situation so far."
Eight-o-clock and I'm already tired of the daily grind,
if I hear one more stupid thing I might just go and lose my mind.
Day in day out that's what it's all about or so I find.
Day dreamin' bout havin' that bottle in front of me,
people at the job suck the smart from my head like a lobotomy.
That's why i think about whiskey, at seven AM!
Thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ 'bout whiskey)
thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ 'bout whiskey)
Thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ 'bout whiskey)
thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ 'bout whiskey)
Thinkin' bout whiskey, by seven AM!
Whiskey Wednesday and I get back home to a fifth of Beam,
crack the seal on the bottle Jim and I go full throttle till two or three.
Then I get up at four and stumble out the front door that's my routine. (HUH!)
Thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ 'bout whiskey)
thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ 'bout whiskey)
Thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ 'bout whiskey)
thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ 'bout whiskey)
Thinkin' bout whiskey, at seven AM!
I'm thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ 'bout whiskey)
Thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ 'bout whiskey)
I'm thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ ‘bout whiskey)
I'm thinkin' ‘bout whiskey. (thinkin’ 'bout whiskey)
I'm thinkin' bout whiskey, at seven AM!
(I don't even like whiskey, I want a beer.)
