The Whiskey Makes You Sweeter

Well, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are.

If I'd quit drinkin' sooner,

I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far.

Now the haze has lifted

I can see.

That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be.

I started slow and steady,

I went from cola to a beer.

I made a resolution:

From the liquor

I'd steer clear.

When I saw you there,

Somethin' inside of me switched off.

And when I switched to the whiskey,

Then I knew that

I was gone. '

Cause the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are.

If I'd quit drinkin' sooner,

I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far.

Now the haze has lifted

I can see.

That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be.

Instrumental

Break. "Sweets for a sweetheart."

That is what you said to me,

As you handed me a shot glass,

And drank down hungrily.

I was lost in dreams of sweet things,

Runnin' through my head.

If it wasn't for the whiskey,

Well, I'd have run away instead. '

Cause the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are.

If I'd quit drinkin' sooner,

I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far.

Now the haze has lifted

I can see.

That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be.

Oh yeas, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever be to me
