Lyrics
Whiskey Whisper
He told her he missed her
But a whiskey whisper
Don’t do no good
Hearin’ her name don’t ease no pain
Like he thought it would
Since she’s been gone
Cold wind’s been callin’ her name in the night
He says I’d sure like to know
Why I can’t let go
Of this double barrel bourbon on ice
What could’ve been kisses
Are now just wishes
Will they ever come true
And it’s got me thinkin’
Baby it’s my drinkin’
Lord what did I do
Maybe it’s not what I did
It’s what I didn’t do
This whiskey whispers your name
When I’m missin’ you
He pulls out a picture
Of the first time he kissed her
In that baby blue fifty-nine
Says that’s my girl
She was my whole world
That’s the day I made her mine
If I had it my way
We’d be together today
Holdin’ each other tight
But a fool’s a fool
And what’s a guy gotta do
To get another double bourbon on ice
What could’ve been kisses
Are now just wishes
Will they ever come true
And it’s got me thinkin’
Maybe it’s my drinkin’
Lord what did I do
Maybe it’s not what I did
It’s what I didn’t do
This whiskey whispers your name
When I’m missin’ you
What could’ve been kisses
Are now just wishes
Will they ever come true
And it’s got me thinkin’
Baby it’s my drinkin’
Lord what did I do
Maybe it’s not what I did
It’s what I didn’t do
This whiskey whispers your name
When I’m missin’ you
