I walked into this bar heavy heart and empty soul
Just another night with nowhere left to go
The boss cut me loose said times are getting rough
Now I'm counting change man life is getting tough
She left a note on the bed said she couldn't stay
Packed her bags and took my heart away
Now I'm drowning in whiskey trying to forget
But the pain keeps coming and I ain't over it yet
Hey bartender hit me with your best shot
I got nothing to lose and it's all I've got
Pour it strong let it burn on the way down
In this bottle I'm trying not to drown
So hit me with your best shot let it flow
Maybe one more will help me let it go
The jukebox is playing some old sad song
It's the soundtrack to the life that's gone wrong
Every sip of bourbon every glass of rye
Takes me back to the day she said goodbye
Lost my job lost my girl lost my way
Now I'm here every damn night just trying to stay
But the more I drink the more I feel the sting
Of a life that's fallen apart at the seams
Hey bartender hit me with your best shot
I got nothing to lose and it's all I've got
Pour it strong let it burn on the way down
In this bottle I'm trying not to drown
So hit me with your best shot let it flow
Maybe one more will help me let it go
This barstool's my throne in a kingdom of pain
I keep on drinking but it's all in vain
I raise my glass here's to the nights we fought
But until the pain stops just hit me with your best shot
Hey bartender hit me with your best shot
I got nothing to lose and it's all I've got
Pour it strong let it burn on the way down
In this bottle I'm trying not to drown
So hit me with your best shot let it flow
Maybe one more will help me let it go
Yeah hit me with your best shot just one more
I'll keep coming back till I'm passed out on the floor
But tonight just tonight let the whiskey be my friend
Hit me with your best shot till I can't feel again
Hey bartender hit me with your best shot
I got nothing to lose and it's all I've got
Pour it strong let it burn on the way down
In this bottle I'm trying not to drown
So hit me with your best shot let it flow
Maybe one more will help me let it go
Yeah hit me with your best shot just one more
I'll keep coming back till I'm passed out on the floor
But tonight just tonight let the whiskey be my friend
Hit me with your best shot till I can't feel again
