Lyrics

When the Whiskey Knows You by Name (Gleeson and Moore)

Verse 1
As the sun burns off the dew
Our part of this rock comes alive
A war is starting in my head
I wake up in a pig sty
Lucy my prize hog is cuddled up with me
Out there in the distance
My wife hangs up the laundry

I'm already working on my apology
Everything I come up with sounds so lame
It’s the price you pay when the whiskey knows you by name

Verse 2
From the toolbox in the back of my truck
That bottle calls my name
I try my best to block it
But that bottle’s got no shame
Halfway through the afternoon
I can’t take no more
That bottle somehow found it’s way to my flatbed’s floor

Through my rear view mirror it’s leading me on
I swear to God it’s far from done
It’s the price you pay when the whiskey knows you by name

Bridge:
When the whiskey knows your name
Life will never be the same
It’ll be your best friend
Straight down the line
When it calls on you
There ain’t nothing you can do
Take it from me
You’ll never be free

Verse 3
I hear a soft whisper
It’s almost quitting time
Keeps on getting louder
As I head to unwind
Barkeep give me anything long as it’s a double
Anything less and there might be trouble

Keep them coming
And I’ll have a blast
Ain’t nothing more sad than the bottom of the glass
It’s the price you pay when the whiskey knows you by name
It’s the price you pay when the whiskey knows you by name
When it knows you by name
