Pickle Whiskey
[Verse 1] Met you in a jar on a backroom shelf Right by the cash box Dust on the label Dare on the table “That’s rocket fuel ” they scoff Green little grin in a gold-brown sea Bartender pours Says “Son That’s risky” But I’m already raising up my glass Saying “Here’s to bad ideas and pickle whiskey” [Chorus] Pickle whiskey Burns Then it kisses me Salty little sin on my lips Getting dizzy Pickle whiskey Tang in my memory Every dumb night I miss you I miss that Pickle whiskey [Verse 2] We were passing that glass ’round four deep strong [slurred ad-libs in the back] You took a swig Made a face so big I laughed till the room went black We wrote our names in the ring on the bar Talked big plans ’bout leaving this city You said “If we forget tonight At least we’ll blame That pickle whiskey” [Chorus] [Bridge] Last call came with the neon blur You leaned close Said “Remember me” Now all I got is this burned-out throat And a craving I can’t beat So line ’em up Stack ’em up Let the brave and the broke get frisky If trouble had a flavor and it lived in a glass It’d taste like pickle whiskey [Chorus]
