Lyrics to “Me or the Whiskey” by Emily Clair
It’s 2 o’clock in the morning
sitting watching the second hand go round
Feeling so empty while your pouring so heavy
trying to smile so I won’t break down
night after night
fight after fight
I’m praying that we both want the same thing baby
and I’m about to lose my mind
Choose me or the whiskey
I’ll make this one easy
if you love me at all it’s last call
what’s it gonna be now baby
Choose me or the whiskey
i’m fighting this feeling
Of when we’re good
we’re good so sweet together
sometimes you go down easy
and when we’re not I forgot who I fell in love
with and the man I know you can be
so choose me or the whiskey
are we both daydreaming
of the days spent swinging
hand in hand on the porch last year
we watched the sun go down
with a bottle of crown
And your fingers running through my hair until
night after night
fight after fight
I’m praying that we both want the same thing baby
its time that you made up your mind
Choose me or the whiskey
I’ll make this one easy
if you love me at all it’s last call
what’s it gonna be now baby
Choose me or the whiskey
i’m fighting this feeling
Of when we’re good
we’re good so sweet together
sometimes you go down easy
and when we’re not I forgot who I fell in love
And the man I know you can be
so choose me or the whiskey
I wont wait til tomorrow
but the bottle sure as hell can’t stay
I’m not staying for another round
and you can’t have us both.
choose me
choose me
Choose me or the whisky
i’m fighting this feeling
Of when we’re good
we’re good so sweet together
sometimes you go down easy
and when we’re not I forgot who I fell in love
with and the man I know you can be
Choose me or the whiskey
choose me
In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
