Whiskey in Reverse

I'm sittin' on a rerun couch Lookin' 'round at an empty house Hungover, tryin' to figure out Just how the hell that I got here Can't blame it on Colorado Tanqueray, no reposado I could try but I know that I sure Can't blame it on ice cold beer There's an empty Jack bottle by the coffee cup Did a lot more hurt than good Girl, I know that I can't fill it back up But if I could You'd be backin' in the driveway You'd be un-saying "I'm leaving" I'd be pullin' my fist from the drywall Watchin' my bloody knuckles start healing I wouldn't have a worst enemy I'd be un-slammin' that bedroom door It'd be a better version of me Like I used to be Like I was before Your bags are packed and your keys were in your purse If I could drink whiskey in reverse If I could keep turnin' back time To my seventeen-self And tell me the first pull of that stuff Will lead you to leavin' I would've drank anything else Oh, but that ain't the case I took it down like a wild-eyed country boy would Girl, and I know I can't fill it back up But if I could You'd be backin' in the driveway You'd be un-saying "I'm leaving" I'd be pullin' my fist from the drywall Watchin' my bloody knuckles start healing I wouldn't have a worst enemy I'd be un-slammin' that bedroom door It'd be a better version of me Like I used to be Like I was before Your bags are packed and your keys were in your purse If I could drink whiskey in reverse It's a damn shame The sun don't set in the East 'Cause that's the only way You'd ever come back to me You'd be backin' in the driveway You'd be un-saying "I'm leaving" I'd be pullin' my fist from the drywall Watchin' my bloody knuckles start healing I wouldn't have a worst enemy I'd be un-slammin' that bedroom door It'd be a better version of me Like I used to be Like I was before Your bags are packed and your keys are in your purse If I could drink whiskey in reverse
