What the Whisky Won't Do - Alan Doyle, Jess Moskaluke

When it’s on the rocks

It gets me on my feet again

Gets me halfway to okay

Gets me downtown with my friends

When it’s shot for shot

It goes right to my head

I’m alright, I’m doing fine

Gets me good as I can get

For a minute I was thinking

It was getting me close

But by the bottom of the bottle I know

What the whisky won’t do

Is hit me strong enough

To forget about us

And I’ve had a few

Even one hundred proof

No, it can’t change the fact

That I can’t get you back

Oh, it’s true

What the whisky won’t do

Is get me over you

The first sip will make me smile

My girlfriends do their best

Drinking doubles like I’m single

But I don’t feel it yet

When that bourbon hits the ice

I get that old Kentucky high

But only for a moment or two

What the whisky won’t do

Is hit me strong enough

To forget about us

And I’ve had a few

Even one hundred proof

No, it can’t change the fact

That I can’t get you back

Oh, it’s true

What the whisky won’t do

Is get me over you

For a minute I was thinking

It was getting me close

But by the bottom of the bottle I know

(I know, I know)

What the whisky won’t do

Is hit me strong enough

To forget about us

And I’ve had a few

Even one hundred proof

No, it can’t change the fact

That I can’t get you back

Oh, it’s true

What the whisky won’t do

(What the whisky won’t do)

Is get me over you

(Get me over you)

Is get me over you

(What the whisky won’t do)

Is get me over you
