(Verse 1) I've sat on barstools, 'neath the neon glow Tried every color that a glass can know Some were too sweet, some were a bitter fight Just passin' time in the pale yellow light I'd take a sip, then I'd let 'em set A long line of glasses I was quick to forget (Chorus) But you, girl, you're my straight Kentucky bourbon Smooth and strong, no sugar-worthy version You burn so warm, all the way down to my soul A fire in my veins that I can't control Those other drinks were just a temporary fix But you're the one hundred proof my heart sticks with. (Verse 2) I knew a girl who was a gin and tonic All sharp and bubbly, kinda high-tonic And one was a daiquiri, frozen and pink Fun for a minute, but you hardly even think They'd leave me thirsty, standin' in the haze Just a sweet illusion in a hollow daze (Chorus) But you, girl, you're my straight Kentucky bourbon Smooth and strong, no sugar-worthy version You burn so warm, all the way down to my soul A fire in my veins that I can't control Those other drinks were just a temporary fix But you're the one hundred proof my heart sticks with. (Bridge) They say a man can drown his sorrows in a bottle But I found the one that breaks the mold I ain't drinkin' to forget nothin' now I'm raisin' my glass to the here and how You ain't a hangover, you're my morning sun The only taste I crave now my days are done. (Chorus) 'Cause you, girl, you're my straight Kentucky bourbon Smooth and strong, no sugar-worthy version You burn so warm, all the way down to my soul A fire in my veins that I can't control Yeah, those other drinks were just a temporary fix But you're the one hundred proof my heart sticks with. (Outro) My old Kentucky bourbon... Yeah, you're the good stuff, baby... The only one I need.
