In this poignant track, Tim Hicks explores the themes of heartbreak and coping mechanisms. The lyrics narrate the story of a person who turns to whiskey as a substitute for the emotional void left by a former lover. The repeated return of the ex-partner only serves to disrupt and confuse, leading the protagonist to seek solace in alcohol, which mimics some effects of their past relationship, such as escapism and temporary relief from pain. However, underlying this is a recognition that neither whiskey nor the ex-lover truly offers genuine love or resolution, highlighting a cycle of dependency and emotional avoidance.
Whiskey Does
Lyrics
You let me go but you keep on comin' back
For another last sip of what we had
You show up lonely in the middle of the night
You wreck my bed, mess my head up, then you leave
Leave me reachin' for this top-shelf Tennessee
'Cause you left me down on the bottom
One too many times
Hey (hey), you wanna make me fall again
Get me drunk when you kiss my lips
Get me lost in the burn and all that smooth
Hey (hey), you wanna make me late for work
Make me forget how bad love hurts
Well baby, I got news for you
Whiskey does that too
I see your name on my phone when I feel it buzz
I turn it over and I pour me another one
This 80 proof ain't the same as you
But it's a damn good substitute
Hey (hey), you wanna make me fall again
Get me drunk when you kiss my lips
Get me lost in the burn and all that smooth
Hey (hey), you wanna make me late for work
Make me forget how bad love hurts
Well baby, I got news for you
Whiskey does that too
Yeah, whiskey does that too
Everything's black and white after I've had a few
Yeah, whiskey might not love me, but neither do you
Hey, you wanna make me fall again
Get me drunk when you kiss my lips
Get me lost in the burn and all that smooth (heY)
Hey (hey), you wanna make me late for work
Make me forget how bad love hurts
Well baby, I got news for you
Whiskey does that too
Yeah girl, whiskey does that too
Whiskey does that too (oh)
Oh yeah
Whiskey does that
Yeah, whiskey does that too
