They Call It a Shot

They know his name in every bar in town
You might think that you can tie him down
But he’ll just be more heartache than you can stand
Whiskey is a weapon when it’s in his hands

Chorus
Oh the bottle may say bulleit but you’re handing him a gun
He’ll pour his life right down the drain for one more night of fun
He loves you a little but he loves whiskey a lot
You’re gonna see the reason why they call it a shot

They say whiskey always helps to drown a memory
But you’re gonna need an ocean of jim beam
He’ll leave you and you’ll just be one more heartache
On his lonely road of broken neon dreams

Chorus
Oh the bottle may say bulleit but you’re handing him a gun
He’ll pour his life right down the drain for one more night of fun
He loves you a little but he loves whiskey a lot
You’re gonna see the reason why they call it a shot
Yeah you’re gonna see the reason why they call it a shot
