Verse 1

She turned in her ring, threw the front door back
Left me here holdin' all the slack
Now what’s a man to do with all this hurt?
I have to let her go, put the whiskey to work

Verse 2

So I'm sippin' at a bar, clocked in around 10
Low and behold, she’s a-walkin' in
I know I can't quit now, I gotta tend this first
I gotta let her go and put the whiskey to work

Chorus

I been drinkin' all night here
Jack Daniels and cold beer
Livin' on this stool and still in my right mind
And if it keeps on like this
I'm gonna have one hard shift
All these memories, they been pullin' overtime

Chorus

I been drinkin' all night here
Jack Daniels and cold beer
Feelin’ like a fool, gettin’ down to my last dime
And if it keeps on like this
I'm gonna have one long shift
All these memories, they won’t let my soul unwind

Verse 3

Now she's dancin' on the floor, her head on his chest
Don't need to see no more, already know the rest
And it’s a cryin' shame, it's an awful curse
Tryin' to let her go and puttin' whiskey to work

Outro

I gotta let her go and put the whiskey to work
