【Intro】 Pour me another one I've got a little something to say About men, women, and life Well... mostly life 【Verse 1】 A man can be awkward, that's alright He doesn't need to get it all right A woman with a little charm can do What a stubborn man could never do We're all missing something somewhere That's just the way people are So if you've got what I don't have Maybe that's what makes us work 【Pre-Chorus】 A man talks big when the drinks run low Dreams get bigger as the whiskey flows A woman just smiles and looks my way Like she's heard that story every day 【Chorus】 It's whiskey, women, and life A little wrong, a little right I talk big, she keeps me down to earth Somehow we know what we're both worth We don't have to have it all We just catch each other when we fall Give me that tired, amused smile And I'll say, "We'll be alright" 【Verse 2】 I've learned a thing or two with time Most of it the hard way, I don't mind A man wants to change the world someday A woman asks, "Who's paying for it anyway?" Well, she's got a point, I have to say Reality is a useful thing I bring the dreams, she checks the bill And somehow we balance everything 【Pre-Chorus】 I can make a mountain out of air She'll tell me, "You know it's not even there" I laugh and say, "Just wait and see" She shakes her head and pours for me 【Chorus】 It's whiskey, women, and life A little wrong, a little right I talk big, she keeps me down to earth Somehow we know what we're both worth We don't have to have it all We just catch each other when we fall Give me that tired, amused smile And I'll say, "We'll be alright" 【Bridge】 Maybe we're old-fashioned Maybe that's true But I've made a pretty good life Learning from you I don't need to win You don't need to agree Leave a little room for each other And that's good enough for me 【Final Chorus】 It's whiskey, women, and life A little wrong, a little right I talk big, she keeps me down to earth That's been our balance from the start We don't have to have it all We just catch each other when we fall Give me that tired, amused smile And I'll say, "We'll be alright" 【Outro】 So pour me one more And don't look at me like that I know, I know... I'm talking too much again But that's the way life goes You smile I drink And somehow... We'll be alright
