Whiskey and Weed

Sun goin’ down on a two-lane sin,

Pickup hummin’ like it knows where I’ve been,

Bills in the dash, regrets in the seat,

Mama said pray, but I poured me a drink.

Neon buzz from the gas station sign,

Life ain’t fair but it sure takes time,

I tried doin’ right, tried bein’ good,

Now I’m parked out back just like I knew I would.

Chorus

Whiskey and weed,

Yeah, whiskey and weed,

One burns slow, one hits me quick,

Both help me forget what I couldn’t fix.

Whiskey and weed,

Just whiskey and weed,

If heaven’s listenin’, it ain’t said a thing,

So I’m talkin’ to God through whiskey and weed.

Verse 2

Got a lighter from a girl I don’t call,

Got a name in my phone I ignore when she calls,

Clock on the wall say half past guilt,

Heart full of “what ifs” and promises I killed.

Town like this don’t let nothin’ slide,

They know your daddy and they know your lies,

I wave and smile like I’ve got it together,

Then drown my thoughts in cheap oak and whatever.

Chorus

Whiskey and weed,

Yeah, whiskey and weed,

One’s for the pain and one’s for the peace,

Depends what part of me I’m tryin’ to keep.

Whiskey and weed,

Just whiskey and weed,

If I’m goin’ down, I’m goin’ down clean,

Headed nowhere fast on whiskey and weed.

Bridge

I ain’t sayin’ I’m proud, I ain’t sayin’ I’m right,

Just sayin’ it gets me through another night,

Halo cracked, boots still on,

I’ll sober up tomorrow… or maybe I won’t.

Chorus (repeat)

Whiskey and weed,

Yeah, whiskey and weed,

Same damn chorus, same damn theme,

Same old cure for the same old me.

Whiskey and weed,

Whiskey and weed,

Till the sun comes up or my conscience bleeds,

I’m leanin’ real hard on whiskey and weed.

Outro

If I ever grow up, I’ll put this behind me,

Till then pour one more and spark one beside me—

Yeah… whiskey and weed.
