Lyrics

Jim Beam face down on the kitchen floor
My daddy woke up where he fell reaching for more
When booze was his every breath we could barely breathe
When whiskey was his woman she was hard to leave

When you're treadin' whiskey
Drowning in mistakes you make
Lies become the truth
And hope is a sunset quick to fade
His every vow
Became another round
Another life wasted away
When you're treadin' whiskey
Sorry is just another word to say

That bottle in his mouth might just as well have been a gun
Our love couldn't undo what the whiskey done
He tried so hard to quit her but she wouldn't leave
She took him six feet under . . . then set him free

When you're treadin' whiskey
Drowning in mistakes you make
Lies become the truth
And hope is a sunset quick to fade
His every vow
Became another round
Another life wasted away
When you're treadin' whiskey
Sorry is just another word to say
When you're treadin' whiskey
Sorry is just another word to say

When you're treadin' whiskey
When you're treadin' whiskey
When you're treadin' whiskey
Sorry is just another word to say
