If Whiskey Were a Woman - Lori McKenna

If whiskey were a woman

She’d do her best to get you drunk

Lie quietly beside you

Watch you sleep

If weed were a woman

She’d fill up both your lungs

Get you higher than you thought

You could ever be

If whiskey were a woman

If a prayer was a woman

She would wait patiently

In your throat

Until you found the strength to speak

If a sunrise was a woman

She would surround you with salvation

Get you standing

Right up off your knees

If whiskey were a woman

She’d be nothing like me

Cause I have given in

I have given up

You wanna love something that I could never be

So take me off the shelf

Take me right out of your arms

And pour yourself a glass of whiskey

If the cure was a woman

She would get under your skin

And take all of your troubles away

She would remind you who you were

Before all the pain set in

When you promised her

Your love would never fade

If whiskey were a woman

She’d be nothing like me

Cause I have given in

I have given up

You wanna love something that I could never be

So take me off the shelf

Take me right out of your arms

And pour yourself a glass of whiskey

If whiskey were a woman

She’d be nothing like me

If whiskey were a woman

She’d be nothing like me
