[Chorus]
Whiskey lingers
I never wanted to be skinny anyways
I always needed to be ready to fight
Hold on
I'm gonna do everything I said I would
Hold on
Now you're judging me
Hold on
I'm gonna do everything I said I could
Hold on
This dog's being judged by its fleas
[Refrain]
You said it was yours to take
But I say it's only mine to give
[Chorus]
Whiskey lingers
I never wanted to be skinny anyways
I always needed to be ready to fight
[Bridge]
We betrayed the betrayers and it felt good
Then we ran all the way to the sea
Got clean, came home
Looks like we'd never gone
It's just a formality to get back to what we do
[Refrain]
You said it was yours to take
But I say it's only mine to give
Ooh
[Chorus]
Whiskey lingers
I never wanted to be skinny anyways
I always needed to be ready to fight
Hold on
I'm gonna do everything I said I would
Hold on
Now you're judging me
Hold on
I'm gonna do everything I said I could
Hold on
This dog's being judged by its fleas
[Refrain]
You said it was yours to take
But I say it's only mine to give
