Straight No Chaser Lyrics

If I had known that you'd be here,

I wouldn't have chose this bar

I wouldn't be three beers deep

Tryin' to nurse a broken heart

I paint a smile on my lips

To hide the hurt inside

But my wrinkled shirt and three-day beard

Don't do much to help the lie

So set me up a shot, straight no chaser,

Won't be needing that today

Give me anything you've got to make her

Memory go away

Cuz I've tried cigarettes and green

And anything that burns

So set me up a shot and maybe I can

Chase away the hurt

If I had known that you'd be here

I wouldn't have kissed that girl

I wouldn't have played your favorite song

And took her for a whirl

One foot forward at a time

I'll walk away from you

But I find more and more these days,

My breath is ninety proof

So set me up a shot, straight no chaser,

Won't be needing that today

Give me anything you've got to make her

Memory go away

Cuz I've tried cigarettes and green

And anything that burns

So set me up a shot and maybe I can

Chase away the hurt

When she and I get home tonight

I'll love her like it's true

But when we kiss good morning, babe,

Her lips don't taste like you

So set me up a shot, straight no chaser,

Won't be needing that today

Give me anything you've got to make her

Memory go away

Cuz I've tried cigarettes and green

And anything that burns

So set me up a shot and maybe I can

Chase away the hurt

Just another shot and maybe I can

Chase away the hurt
