Lyrics Lori McKenna – If Whiskey Were A Woman

If whiskey were a woman
She’d do her best to get you drunk
Lie quietly beside you
Watch you sleep

If weed were a woman
She’d fill up both your lungs
Get you higher than you thought
You could ever be
If whiskey were a woman

If a prayer was a woman
She would wait patiently
In your throat
Until you found the strength to speak

If a sunrise was a woman
She would surround you with salvation
Get you standing
Right up off your knees

If whiskey were a woman
She’d be nothing like me

Cause I have given in
I have given up
You wanna love something that I could never be
So take me off the shelf
Take me right out of your arms
And pour yourself a glass of whiskey

If the cure was a woman
She would get under your skin
And take all of your troubles away
She would remind you who you were
Before all the pain set in

If whiskey were a woman
She’d be nothing like me

Cause I have given in
I have given up
You wanna love something that I could never be
So take me off the shelf
Take me right out of your arms
And pour yourself a glass of whiskey

If whiskey were a woman
She’d be nothing like me
If whiskey were a woman
She’d be nothing like me
