Whiskey, don't take me back
To that first night that we met
Or that lipstick on a napkin with her number
Whiskey, don't take me back
To the taste of that first kiss
Or any of the stars we woke up under
It don't get me on that road to Santa Fe
Or that motel room where we loved the night away
Go ahead, go on and say goodbye for good
This ain't working out the way I thought it would
You and me ain't meant to be
So even if I ask
Whiskey, please don't take me back
No, whiskey, don't take me back
And it's probably for the best
Even when it's on my breath
it still won't heal me
But if it ever would it'd probably kill
So go ahead, go on and say goodbye for good
This ain't working out the way I thought it would
You and me ain't meant to be
So even if I ask
Whiskey, please don't take me back
I'll just keep this memory bottled-up
And you can stay up on that shelf collecting dust
So go ahead, go on and say goodbye for good
This ain't working out the way I thought it would
You and me ain't meant to be
So even if I ask
Whiskey, please don't take me back
No, whiskey, don't take me back
