Whiskey knows my name

There's a bottle waiting by the neon light,

When the world is heavy, I'm there every night.

just Cousin Jack, or Brother Jim,

whiskey's the one that lets me in.

It don't judge me, it don't ask me why,

Just pours me peace in every goodbye.

It's like an old best friend, that's always got your back or watching the stars somewhere outback

It burns real slow, but eases the pain,

One more glass, and I'll forget your name.

Oh, whiskey oh whiskey knows my name

(Yeah, whiskey oh whiskey knows my name)

I've heard the preacher say, "Boy, don't you think to run,"

But I find salvation in this bottle of rum.

The truth gets clear with every sip I take,

And the hurt fades away just like my days.

It don't lie, no it don't pretend,

Through thick n thin it's been my friend.

It's like a special someone that has your heart, and keeps it close to be the light in the dark

It burns real slow, but eases the pain,

One more shot, so I don't go insane

Oh, whiskey oh whiskey knows my name

Some folks say that I should walk away,

But it understands when I need to stay.

It's got all the answers I can't seem to find,

This empty glass is what I'll leave behind.

It don't hurt me, it don't make me sad,

It makes me feel good, so I don't feel bad.

like a night with the boys tearin up this town

Or something that flips my frown

It burns real slow, but eases the pain,

One more glass, and I'll forget your name

Oh, whiskey whiskey knows my name
