Should'a Left That Whiskey Alone
BMI-Songwriter-John William Carey-ipi-185383934-BMI-Pub.-ipi-John Carey Music-894430803
Verse;
Out drinkin' with the boys late one night,I knew when I got home there'd be a hell of a fight
For my baby'd been busy blowin' up my phone
So I stumbled my way up to the door
Grabbed my key from my pocket but it wouldn't unlock it
And my bags were packed out on the porch
I wasn't thinkin' what I should'a, should'a, would'a, should'a, could'a, Should'a left that whiskey alone
Chorus
I Should'a left that whiskey alone Lord
It makes me wanna fight, I end up flat on the floor
I get a little brain-dead, end up in a trainwreck, derailin' off the road
I've been missin' what I ain't got, hittin' them double-shots ever since my baby's been gone
Never doin' what I oughta at the bottom of the bottle
Should'a left that whiskey alone
Verse;
I stopped by the club for a shot or two, then a shot or two turned into a few
I woke-up with some woman smilein' back at me
She had blood-shot eyes, missin' two front teeth
I threw on my clothes, my feet hit the floor, I couldn't wait to make it out the door
I wasn't thinkin' what I should'a, should'a, would'a, should'a, could'a, Should'a left that whiskey alone
Chorus;
I Should'a left that whiskey alone Lord
It makes me wanna fight , I end up flat on the floor
I get a little brain-dead end up in a train-wreck derailin' off the road
I've been missin' what I ain't got, hittin' them double-shots ever since my baby's been gone
Never doin' what I oughta at the bottom of the bottle
Should'a left that whiskey alone
Bridge;
Dance-hall church is all I've known, Lord have mercy on my soul
Bartender come on turn up that bottle, pour me another shot of that devel's water com'on
Instumental-1/2 chorus;
I've been missin' what I ain't got, hittin' them double-shots, ever since my baby's been gone
Never doin' what I oughta at the bottom of the bottle, should'a left that whiskey alone
TAG;
I should'a left that whiskey alone Lord, should'a left that whiskey alone
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, I should'a left that whiskey alone, leave that whiskey alone
