I Think You Oughta Try Whiskey - Corb Lund, Jaida Dreyer

Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe

Well I think you oughta try gin

Well gin sounds kinda risky babe

Whiskey makes me cringe

Yeah but whiskey makes you frisky babe

O much to my chagrin

Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe

Well I think you oughta try gin

Whiskey makes me feel as though I’m smart and tough and tall

It makes me think of things I’ve never thought about at all

And I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t wanna at least try

A drop of corn or rye or wheat or barley 'fore they die

Whiskey makes you do things that perhaps you mightn’t oughta

It’s a demon every drink and there’s a fight in every bottle

Whiskey makes you act as though the whole world owes you something

And I love you but when you’re that high you ain’t all that Dumplin'

Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe

Well I think you oughta try gin

Well gin sounds kinda risky babe

Whiskey makes me cringe

Yeah but whiskey makes you frisky babe

O much to my chagrin

Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe

Well I think you oughta try gin

Gin seems so sophisticated, classy, crisp and clean

Hints of piney juniper, of England and the Queen

It makes me feel so ladylike and it gives me what I need

And Lord knows with how we’re living I’ll take any help I see

Well when you’re drinking gin you put your nose up in the air

You strut around the room and act like I’m not even there

You slur your words and paw at every rich man through the door

If I want a taste that bitter I’ll go find a two by four

Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe

Well I think you oughta try gin

Well gin sounds kinda risky babe

Whiskey makes me cringe

Yeah but whiskey makes you frisky babe

O much to my chagrin

Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe

Well I think you oughta try gin
