Hop in my whiskey ride
and I'm drivin'
down Highway 45
blow all the lights
on the way to Regretville
I hear they've got a bar there
open all night
Julie's waiting in the dark for me to kiss her
a little green house on a little green street
conniving and undermining directors
Best laid plans kept me drunk in her back seat
Hop in my whiskey ride
and I'm drivin'
down Highway 45
blow all the lights
on the way to Regretville
I hear they've got a bar there
open all night
That night she didn't want me to take the high road
backfire makes the baby cry
Too afraid to speak so I ghosted
I wasn't strong enough to watch him lose his mind
Hop in my whiskey ride
and I'm drivin'
down Highway 45
blow all the lights
on the way to Regretville
I hear they've got a bar there
open all night
Walk it off
dial it back
talk it down
Make it work
lay it out
kick it around
Walk it off
dial it back
talk it down
Make it work
lay it out
kick it around
The man just wanted to buy me a beer
They were too kind and carried the load
I attacked him in a battle I had no stake in
And I'm pretty sure there's plenty more up the road
Hop in my whiskey ride
and I'm drivin'
down Highway 45
blow all the lights
on the way to Regretville
I hear they've got a bar there
open all night
