Lyrics I Think You Oughta Try Whiskey - Corb Lund, Jaida Dreyer

I Think You Oughta Try Whiskey

Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe
Well I think you oughta try gin
Well gin sounds kinda risky babe
Whiskey makes me cringe
Yeah but whiskey makes you frisky babe
O much to my chagrin
Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe
Well I think you oughta try gin
Whiskey makes me feel as though I’m smart and tough and tall
It makes me think of things I’ve never thought about at all
And I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t wanna at least try
A drop of corn or rye or wheat or barley 'fore they die
Whiskey makes you do things that perhaps you mightn’t oughta
It’s a demon every drink and there’s a fight in every bottle
Whiskey makes you act as though the whole world owes you something
And I love you but when you’re that high you ain’t all that Dumplin'
Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe
Well I think you oughta try gin
Well gin sounds kinda risky babe
Whiskey makes me cringe
Yeah but whiskey makes you frisky babe
O much to my chagrin
Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe
Well I think you oughta try gin
Gin seems so sophisticated, classy, crisp and clean
Hints of piney juniper, of England and the Queen
It makes me feel so ladylike and it gives me what I need
And Lord knows with how we’re living I’ll take any help I see
Well when you’re drinking gin you put your nose up in the air
You strut around the room and act like I’m not even there
You slur your words and paw at every rich man through the door
If I want a taste that bitter I’ll go find a two by four
Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe
Well I think you oughta try gin
Well gin sounds kinda risky babe
Whiskey makes me cringe
Yeah but whiskey makes you frisky babe
O much to my chagrin
Well I think you oughta try whiskey babe
Well I think you oughta try gin
