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 unsaying, “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 unslammin′ 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 17-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 unsaying, “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 unsaying, “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
