In this poignant country ballad, the artist personifies whiskey as a destructive force in his life. The lyrics reveal a narrative of regret and heartbreak, where alcohol is blamed for the end of a meaningful relationship. The repeated question, "Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?" underscores the singer's remorse and confusion over how something he sought comfort in could lead to such loss. The song serves as an emotional exploration of addiction and its consequences, highlighting the struggle between dependence and the desire for change. It's a powerful commentary on how substances can manipulate perception and decision-making, leading to irrevocable damage in personal relationships.
Hey Whiskey
Lyrics
All I ever did was give you my attention
Every Friday night since I turned twenty-two
I trusted you with my naive intentions
Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
I gave you every penny in my pocket
You helped me lie and made me tell the truth
Stayed out with you all night when you came calling
Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
I let you stay, you made her leave
Made me say things I don't mean
To the only girl that ever made me choose
Gave you everything I had
Went to hell and can't get back
The only thing I couldn't stand to lose
Hey whiskey
Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
You talked me into letting her walk out
Promised me I'd find somebody new
But I gotta ask from where I sit right now
Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
I let you stay, you made her leave
Made me say things I don't mean
To the only girl that ever made me choose
Gave you everything I had
Went to hell and can't get back
The only thing I couldn't stand to lose
Hey whiskey
Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
I held you up
You let me drown
Nah, you ain't worth the hurt
So why can't I put you down?
I let you stay, you made her leave
Made me say things I don't mean
To the only girl that ever made me choose
Gave you everything I had
Went to hell and can't get back
Both the hearts that you just broke in two
Hey whiskey
Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
Hey whiskey
Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
