  • I'm gonna light one up and sit right here
    I'm gonna drink this hole in the wall out of beer
    And when that ice cold beer loses its buzz
    I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does

    Maybe it'll make me lose my mind
    Maybe it'll help me forget this time
    Maybe it'll put my fist through the wall
    Make me pick up the phone and give you a call
    Maybe it'll take me somewhere I've never been
    Make the world stand still, make the whole room spin
    Maybe make me dance, make me cry
    Hell I don't know, but I know tonight

    I'm gonna light one up and sit right here
    I'm gonna drink this hole in the wall out of beer
    And when that ice cold beer loses its buzz
    I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does

    Well maybe it'll buy this bar a round
    Or turn my ass upside down
    Maybe it'll make me a fly on the wall
    Or stand me up ten feet tall
    Maybe it'll take me to a better place
    And put a smile back on my face
    Maybe it'll make me hate myself
    Or fall in love with somebody else

    But I'm gonna light one up and sit right here
    I'm gonna drink this hole in the wall out of beer
    And when that ice cold beer loses its buzz
    I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does

    Well maybe it'll talk me off the ledge I've been on lately
    Maybe it'll heal me, maybe it'll kill me, yeah maybe

    But I'm gonna light one up and sit right here
    And drink this hole in the wall out of beer
    And when that ice cold beer loses its buzz
    I'm gonna let that whiskey do what whiskey does

    But sometimes I sit here just because
    I wanna let that whiskey do what whiskey does Writer/s: Hillary Lee Lindsey, Keith Gattis, Randy Houser
