Lyrics

Thanks to Bourbon



VS 1
I moved way the hell out here for her, to live in a high rent, high
rise, high
end perch
Then out of the blue she broke it off, I don't know why
but I know how bad it hurt

and soon after I found my self alone
so for some company I brought a rescue dog home
He's named after the song in a glass, I'v been pouring down
it's taken time to turn my life around

(Chorus)
Yeah, Thanks to Bourbon, I am
a rescue man
I know lonely won't leave with the alcohol
Thats it thats all
Saint Peter
Saint Paul
Bourbon is what I need right now
I am
a rescue man





VS 2
Went out for a drive by my new place
Stopped for some groceries and paper plates
He jumped back in right where she used to ride
and I got the I'm cool I'm good right by your side

I wondered into the best uptown bars with a view
Looked like I'd never meet someone new
I've done hard time in coffeehouse chairs
finding a date wasn't goin happen there


(Bridge)
Nothing, around me mattered, I didn't trust or care
to move on I need some traction and a Prayer
Then Bourbon, would wag his tail as if to say
Life will be easier, with love someday






(End Chorus)
Once I stopped looking, for love in my life
That's when I saw this woman smiling at me
and she's pretty, really, really, pretty
Bourbon it's time to change my Whiskey.
I am
a rescue, man
and she picked me
Yeah, Thank you
for pulling me through
you rescued me when I rescued you
