Story Behind The Song
Southpaw wanted to write a drinking song that was new and fresh, and the way to do that was to write a song about hangovers. The clever line "If you whiskey me off my feet tonight you gotta listen to me whine in the morning" was the foundation.
Song Description
Equal parts party song and hangover song, "Whiskey and Whine" is a fun and flirty ode to a crazy night and the morning after. The verses are a lower tempo with a sultry female lead vocal that pulls you in, and the choruses rock out with male backing vocals and killer guitar riffs.

Lyrics
Maybe it's you
Maybe it's me
Maybe it's cuz I might have had me one or three
The first one goes to my head
Second one goes to my heart
The third one goes to show
There ain't no stopping once you start
It's Friday night, not a care in sight
Bartender keep 'em comin'
One two three four just like a guitar strummin'
It's a good time when we cross the line
But I'm giving you fair warning
If you whiskey me off my feet tonight
You gotta listen to me whine in the morning
Whiskey and whine
Whiskey and whine
Whiskey and whine
Could have been four
Could have been twenty
I can't say for sure but I'm thinking maybe one too many
See the last one went to my knees y'all
And the other one went to my hips
Now I'm out on the floor like a bucking machine
With a cowboy on my lips
It's Friday night, not a care in sight
Bartender keep 'em comin'
One two three four just like a guitar strummin'
It's a good time when we cross the line
But I'm giving you fair warning
If you whiskey me off my feet tonight
You gotta listen to me whine in the morning
Whiskey and whine
Whiskey and whine
Whiskey and whine
All the ibuprofen in the world ain't gonna help me now
I gotta find my constitution
Gotta get it back together somehow
Cuz there ain't no way in hell I'm staying in tonight
Whiskey and whine
Whiskey and whine
Whiskey and whine
Hey, it's Friday night, not a care in sight
Bartender keep 'em comin'
One two three four just like a guitar strummin'
It's a good time when we cross the line
But I'm giving you fair warning
If you whiskey me off my feet tonight
You gotta listen to me whine in the morning
It's Friday night, not a care in sight
Bartender keep 'em comin'
One two three four just like a guitar strummin'
It's a good time when we cross the line
But I'm giving you fair warning
If you whiskey me off my feet tonight
If you whiskey me off my feet tonight
If you whiskey me off my feet tonight
You gotta listen to me whine in the morning
Whiskey and whine
Whiskey and whine
Whiskey and whine
