LYRICS
The first shot it burns like the memories of you
The second shot is easier, I know we're still through
By shot number three, I'm feelin' all right
I'm learning to drink whiskey tonight
Here in the house, we once called a home
with a glass and a bottle, I sit here alone
With tears in my eyes, I'm a pitiful sight
I'm learning to drink whiskey tonight

BRIDGE

The promises you made
Are floating away
They circle my glass
in a whiskey parade
with each drink I take
one more slips away
'til all I have left
is an empty bottle and regrets
When I put down my glass, there's a bitter taste on my lips
Don't know if it's from the whiskey or from remembering your kiss
The warmth in my cheeks, plays tricks on my mind
I'm learning to drink Whiskey tonight
The first shot it burns like the memories of you
The second shot is easier, but it don't change we're through
By shot number three, I'm feelin' all right
I'm learning to drink whiskey tonight
By the time that I'm through, I'll be a pitiful sight
I'm learning to drink whiskey tonight
