Lyrics
Verse 1:
Can't drink this beer any longer
Bartender, pour me something stronger
What you pour is up to you
Any whiskey - that you choose
Verse 2:
One square cube, one orange twist
One hundred proof, meant to sip
With a sugar cube thrown in
A little bitter at the end
CHORUS
This Old Fashioned ain't so bad
Maybe the best thing I've ever had
A little bitter going down
But I'll be back for another round
Maybe Old Fashioned is just all I need now
Verse 3:
My whole life was in that drink
That was what I started to think
A little muddled, a little sweet
A cherry on top makes it complete
Verse 4:
Then a twist to make it rough
But damn I sure drank it up
A bitter ending when she left
Now I'm drinking to forget
CHORUS
Bridge:
I want things how they used to be
Like this drink in my hand
But she ain't coming back no more
This whiskey made me understand
