Lyrics

[Verse 1] Black Label on the kitchen table Beside a low ball glass that's sittin' on E Sundown sippin' while the needle's slippin' Through a George Jones vinyl Side B I'm three drinks deep on a Tullahoma high But I already know where it's goin' tonight [Chorus] I've been tryna get a handle on missin' on you But all that got me was a handle on this ninety proof It's been a hell of a hell and back bender Since the gravel hit the fender and you hit me with goodbye I'm floatin' up a G.D. creek without a prayer Gettin' gone over you ain't gettin' me nowhere It's no usе, no two ways about it Me lovin' you, girl, I can't whiskey around it [Verse 2] I've triеd straight shootin' my way through it I'm still stuck between on the rocks and the heartache It's clear as a bottle at the bottom There ain't no drownin' this blue-eyed problem [Chorus] I've been tryna get a handle on missin' on you But all that got me was a handle on this ninety proof It's been a hell of a hell and back bender Since the gravel hit the fender and you hit me with goodbye I'm floatin' up a G.D. creek without a prayer Gettin' gone over you ain't gettin' me nowhere It's no use, no two ways about it Me lovin' you, girl, I can't whiskey around it [Post-Chorus] Mhm [Bridge] This ninety ain't nothin' No, it ain't nothin' on you I could swear that I'm over it But I can't drink it true [Chorus] I've been tryna get a handle on missin' on you But all that got me was a handle on this ninety proof It's been a hell of a hell and back bender Since the gravel hit the fender and you hit me with goodbye I'm floatin' up a G.D. creek without a prayer Gettin' gone over you ain't gettin' me nowhere It's no use, no two ways about it Me lovin' you, girl, I can't whiskey around it [Outro] I can't, no, I can't whiskey around it Me lovin' you, girl, I can't whiskey around it
