He brings out the whiskey in me 
When it's later than night-time and all that's good is asleep 
He brings out the whiskey in me 

We were just thirteen years old 
When my daddy's liquor cabinet 
That was usually closed 
Is where we found Canadien gold 
When you're gettin over troubles around 
When you're gettin over lovers that have let you down 
When you're paying for the past It all don't seem so bad 
When ice is ringing in your whiskey glass 

I can hear the first morning train 
It's quarter to dawn and the bottle's gone 
Go to sleep before the sun gets strongIt's all wrong while your gone 
It's all wrong while your gone 
When you're gettin over troubles around 
When you're gettin over lovers that have let you down 
When you're paying for that past 
it all don't seem so bad 
when ice is ringing in your whiskey glass 

He brings out the whiskey in me 
When it's later than night-time 
and all that's good is asleep 
He brings out the whiskey in me
