Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bottle on the counter, just five bucks a piece,
Burns like heartbreak, but it's a quick release,
Found me a girl in a honky-tonk band,
She's fast as that whiskey, don't need no second chance.

[Verse 2]
Her smile's like fire, her laugh like rain,
We danced through the night, forgot our pain,
Whiskey in my veins, her hand in mine,
Both knowin' come sun-up, we'll be just fine.

[Chorus]
Cheap whiskey and a one night stand,
Burns going down, quick and unplanned,
Heart on the line with a hired band,
Living for the moment, ain't life grand?

[Verse 3]
Morning comes creeping through my window pane,
Empty bottle, her name I never did gain,
But I got no regrets, just a heart of sand,
With a tale to tell 'bout cheap whiskey and a one night stand.

[Verse 4]
Hits like a freight train, leaves you needing more,
Her kiss and that bottle, both hard to ignore,
In the pale morning light, we both understand,
That love ain't here, just a one night brand.

[Chorus]
Cheap whiskey and a one night stand,
Burns going down, quick and unplanned,
Heart on the line with a hired band,
Living for the moment, ain't life grand?
