Sometimes I need a long cool one
Or my foolish heart says, "Open the red"
Grandpa would say, "You need something strong son"
"If you're trying to forget what she said"
Water, wine and whiskey
They'll all wet your lips, when you get thirsty
You'll need them all to forget the memory
Water, wine and whiskey
Now I've got a desire that sits on my lips
So, I'll line them up so the time will pass
Cause' I've tasted all three in your kiss
Funny the bigger the problem the smaller the glass
Water, wine and whiskey
They'll all wet your lips, when you get thirsty
You'll need them all to forget the memory
Water, wine and whiskey
Let it cool, let it breathe, let it burn
For when love dries up each gets its turn
Let cool, let it breathe, let it burn
One or the other has to get me over her
Water, wine and whiskey
They'll all wet your lips, when you get thirsty
You'll need them all to forget the memory
Water, wine and whiskey
