[Verse 1]
The big hand on the clock,
climbs high in my hometown.
Sit starin' at bottles -
'til last call, it's close down.
When the bartender looks,
at the drink that he poured me.
Says,
Boy, I seen many a man sit before me,
and I can tell when I find,
the kind with a woman on his mind.

[Chorus]
So I nod, 
and I take a sip of this watered-down whiskey.
Her smile in the glass, and it's like she's with me.
A tear hits my eye,
but I can still crack a smile.
Oooh, maybe it's been a while,
but I can still crack a smile.
Just thinkin' about the way that she gets me.
Mhmm, somethin' in the way that she gets me.

[Verse 2]
And I've had my share,
of those days on the rocks.
Caught drownin' in a bottle,
of my own thoughts.
But if I know one thing, 
it's that if you wait long enough -
Those rocks they'll just melt,
your days won't be as rough, 
and you'll float to the top of that bottle.

[Chorus]
So I nod, 
and I take a sip of this watered-down whiskey.
Her smile in the glass, and it's like she's with me.
A tear hits my eye,
but I can still crack a smile.
Yeah, maybe it's been a while,
but I can still crack a smile.
Just thinkin' about the way that she gets me.
Mhmm, somethin' in the way,
that she gets me.

[Bridge]
So let me share something wise -
when life gives you highs,
look her straight in the eyes,
and make sure, she feels she's a prize.

[Spoken]
If she's a good one,
Look - you better make damn sure she knows what she means to ya.

[Refrain]
Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh
Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh

[Verse 3]
Cuz there'll be other days,
where you just start to ball.
when you look down on the ground,
reduced to a crawl,
and you'll start to fall,
and her hand will be all,
that you have, but it's all,
that you need.

[Spoken Outro]
I mean, so if she's sittin' next to you -
order that highball and tell her how you feel,
cuz life is short, God has a plan for each of us,
and you'll never know what could have been,
if you sit there in silence...
