I'm back takin' the long way when I go home at night
 And your memory don't dance down the hallway when I flip on the light 
I'm back spendin' time with my buddies 
 A little rowdy ain't hurtin' nobody 
 Yeah, I've come a long way gettin' over us 
But now and then when your name comes up

 I drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down 
 When the wonderin' if you miss me missin' you comes around
 Yeah, it don't happen like it used to happen 
But when it does, I twist off a cap and 
 Drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down 

 No more 2 a.m. phone calls to act like I'm checkin' in 
No more runnin' the other way when I run into your friends 
 I don't need your touch, need your smile 
Except for every little once in a while then


I drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down 
 When the wonderin' if you miss me missin' you comes around
 Yeah, it don't happen like it used to happen 
 But when it does, I twist off a cap and 
 Drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down 
 Drink a little whiskey down
 Yeah just enough to get you gone 
 Grab a glass and pour one strong 

I drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down 
 When the wonderin' if you miss me missin' you comes around
 Yeah, it don't happen like it used to happen 
 But when it does, I twist off a cap and 
Drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down 
 Drink a little whiskey down 
Drink a little whiskey down 
Drink a little whiskey down 
Drink a little whiskey down​​​​​​​
