Josh Abbott Band - Whiskey Tango Foxtrot lyrics

Got off late, was trying to get off early Old lady at the lot just flipped me the birdie I got pulled over ’cause I was in a hurry Well thanks a lot officer, good day, just great And now I’m later than I was And all I really wanted was to catch me a buzz I finally got there but somebody’s in my chair I’m doing my best trying not swear, but— Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Why the hell not say what I’m thinking ‘Cause when I’m drinking it’s hard to stop once I start Like the guy next to me talking off my ear Thought I just came in here to have a cold beer But guess what? It’s not, it’s hot Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Well my ex walks in with her new boyfriend And let’s just say it wasn’t a happy ending I take it as a sign for me to leave But I can’t find my keys, jeez Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Why the hell not say what I’m thinking ‘Cause when I’m drinking it’s hard to stop once I start Like the guy next to me talking off my ear Thought I just came in here to have a cold beer And unwind till closing time but my card’s declined Whiskey Tango Foxtrot I walk outside to my truck The keys were locked inside Just my luck What the— Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Why the hell not say what I’m thinking ‘Cause when I’m drinking it’s hard to stop once I start Like the guy next to me talking off my ear Thought I just came in here to have a cold beer But guess what? It’s not, it’s hot Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
