Alan Doyle - What The Whisky Won't Do Lyrics

When it's on the rocks
It gets me on my feet again
Gets me halfway to okay
Gets me downtown with my friends

When it's shot for shot
It goes right to my head
And I'm alright, I'm doing fine
Gets me good as I can get

For a minute I was thinking
It was getting me close
But by the bottom of the bottle I know

What the whisky won't do
Is hit me strong enough
To forget about us
And I've had a few
Even a hundred proof
No, it can't change the fact
That I can't get you back
Oh, it's true
What the whisky won't do
Is get me over you

The first sip will make me smile
My girlfriends do their best
Drinking doubles like I'm single
But I don't feel it yet
When that bourbon hits the ice
I get that old Kentucky high
But only for a moment or two

What the whisky won't do
Is hit me strong enough
To forget about us
And I've had a few
Even a hundred proof
No, it can't change the fact
That I can't get you back
Oh, it's true
What the whisky won't do
Is get me over you

For a minute I was thinking
It was getting me close
But by the bottom of the bottle I know

What the whisky won't do
Is hit me strong enough
To forget about us
And I've had a few
Even a hundred proof
No, it can't change the fact
That I can't get you back
Oh, it's true
What the whisky won't do
Is get me over you
