[Verse 1] She likes diamonds, I like beer She wants forever, I want outta here She keeps talking, I keep pouring She says she's leaving, but I keep ignoring [Pre-Chorus] I did the math, it ain’t hard to see She’s costing more than she ought to be [Chorus] Whiskey’s cheaper than to keep her That’s the truth, and that’s alright She takes my money, takes my patience Takes the life out of every night I could buy her something pretty Or I could buy myself a drink Whiskey’s cheaper than to keep her And it’s cheaper than you think [Verse 2] She wants a house with a picket fence I want a night that don’t cost me a cent She wants dinner somewhere downtown I know a place around the corner [Pre-Chorus] She says I’m cheap, I say she’s right But I’ve learned something about saving tonight [Chorus] Whiskey’s cheaper than to keep her That’s the truth, and that’s alright She takes my money, takes my patience Takes the life out of every night I could buy her something pretty Or I could buy myself a drink Whiskey’s cheaper than to keep her And it’s cheaper than you think [Bridge] Now I’m not saying she’s trouble I’m just saying trouble costs And every time I start adding it up I remember what I lost [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Whiskey’s cheaper than to keep her That’s the truth, and that’s alright She can have her little kingdom I can have my Friday night I could buy her something pretty But I know what I’d rather do Whiskey’s cheaper than to keep her And it’s cheaper than you-know-who [Outro] Yeah, whiskey’s cheaper… Hell, whiskey’s cheaper… Than to keep her.
