Whiskey Tonight Lyrics

Those Nebraska winters chill to the bone

Magnify that by a call on the phone

Lord, ain't it funny how it turns on a dime

Here I am falling like Northwestern pine

Yeah, here I am falling like Northwestern pine

Now, I have two daughters, a house and a wife

And we never faced much financial strife

But that January scared us to death

We couldn't put our worries to rest

No, we couldn't put our worries to rest

I'll hang my head high, keep the worries down low

I've had some thoughts that you shouldn't know

I'll pick up the pieces and drown my sorrow

Drink whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow

Whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow

Now, my mom, she called me from Idaho

She said life is full of highs and lows

I can't send you money, but I'll send you my prayers

Just have some faith in the good man upstairs

She said just have some faith in the good man upstairs

I'll hang my head high, keep the worries down low

I've had some thoughts that you shouldn't know

I'll pick up the pieces and drown my sorrow

Drink whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow

Whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow

Now, I looked my girls right in the eye

And I said there is no reason to cry

I promise you everything will turn out right

But the thoughts in my head, I couldn't hide

No, the thoughts in my head, I couldn't hide

I'll hang my head high, keep the worries down low

I've had some thoughts that you shouldn't know

I'll pick up the pieces and drown my sorrow

Drink whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow

Whiskey tonight and worry tomorrow
