Lyrics

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
