The bartender asked, “What brings you here?” But that simple question hit a little too clear Chorus: Why am I here…means lots of things to a dude Maybe I need to unwind and sip some… attitude Whiskey might make me forget a mistake It could be for fun, or yet still a heartache Verse 1: That brown bottle of goodness, just a shot or two Brings back a perspective, I can’t refuse Makes me forget all about you…unsettled in my thoughts Quit thinking ‘bout everything... I’ve probably lost Chorus: Why am I here…means lots of things to a dude Maybe I need to unwind and sip some… attitude Whiskey might make me forget a mistake It could be for fun, or yet still a heartache Verse 2: I invested in you, I now owe the bank No matter how I drown the thoughts still know I have myself to thank It ain’t for fun, I tell myself, it’s just forgettin’ But every sip… just keeps me thinkin’ Chorus: Why am I here...means lots of things to a dude Maybe I need to unwind and sip some… attitude Whiskey might make me forget a mistake It could be for fun, or yet still a heartache Verse 3: The night ends without an answer to this Why am I here …keep dreaming of her kiss The truth hits hard when someone’s being polite Why are you here buddy?…drinking her away tonight Bridge: Lowering your standards…not raising your bar I know why I’m here, I went way to far Chorus: Why am I here…means lots of things to a dude Maybe I need to unwind and sip some… attitude Whiskey might make me forget a mistake It could be for fun, or yet still a heartache Closing Verse: Why am I here…now I see the truth Tryin’ to drown out what I lost with you Whiskey don’t fix what a heart can break I ain’t here for fun…this is my mistake …Why am I here…can mean lots of things Why am I here…that question… still stings
