You ask me why I'm here all alone
Not addin' to the noise not lookin' at my phone
Just sittin' at this bar in the middle of the neon night
I just come around here every now and again
When I can't get this heartache to end
That's what whiskey is for
When she walks out the door
And you're down on your knees
With all her sweet memories
No matter how hard you try
Beer can't take that tear from your eye anymore
That's what whiskey is for
So now that you asked, I could go on and on
How perfect she was and now that she's gone
Sometimes I just can't find my way out of her memory
But I know that's not somethin' you care to hear
So bartender don't bring me a beer
That's what whiskey is for
When she walks out the door
And you just can't believe
That she'd really leave
And there's nothin' that you
Or anyone else can do anymore
That's what whiskey is for
When she tells you the score
And you're down on your knees
With all her sweet memories
No matter how hard you try
Beer can't take that tear from your eye anymore
That's what whiskey is for
Beer can't take that tear from your eye anymore
That's what whiskey is for
