I've seen drunk girls singin' karaoke
I've seen old timers bring their beer
And we all seem to have our sad stories to tell
That's how we all ended up here
Washin' away all our problems
Gettin' baptised in those neon lights
And the drunker I get, the more things I forget
And I just ain't got that kind o' time
So that's why I like drinkin' whiskey
'Cause it fills up the cracks in my soul
And it helps me forget all the damage I've done
And all the time I've spent down in this hole
And for a moment I swear I hear Jesus
Saying "Son, it'll all be alright."
So I take one more shot of redemption, Lord
It's like Sunday every Saturday night
Well the gospel comes out of that jukebox
And in an angel just walked through the door
And pulled up the chair right beside me
Said, "You think misery's got room for one more?"
So that's why I like drinkin' whiskey
'Cause it fills up the cracks in my soul
And it helps me forget all the damage I've done
And all the time I've spent down in this hole
And for a moment I swear I hear Jesus
Saying "Son, it'll all be alright."
So I take one more shot of redemption, Lord
It's like Sunday every Saturday night
Well the bar stools are lined up like church pews
And the preacher just yelled out "Last call!"
And confession is held belly-up to the bar
Hell even the best angels fall
So that's why I like drinkin' whiskey
'Cause it fills up the cracks in my soul
And it helps me forget all the damage I've done
And all the time I've spent down in this hole
For a moment I swear I hear Jesus
Saying "Son, it'll all be alright."
So I take one more shot of redemption, Lord
It's like Sunday every Saturday night
It's like Sunday every Saturday night
