about

By this point in the album you're probably getting thirsty.

lyrics

I understand you’re getting some guff,
in that office where you work.

You mighta’ made a little peccadillo,
probably just another self-invested jerk,
and your redneck cousin’s awful mad
‘cause you don’t spell clan with k,
and the trust-fund-moribunds who live across the hall
Seem to hate every record you play.

But you’re my favorite shot of whiskey
even if you’re not their cup of tea.
You’re my favorite shot of whiskey -
acquired taste,
a pleasure guilty,
smoky, sweet, smooth and silky,
limestone hills in the moonlight
cloaked in white oaks misty –
you’re my favorite
shot of whiskey – you’re my…

I suppose I should say I’m sorry.
Some people seem to never get your story.
No doubt it causes consternation,
and all that negativity
is bound to bring you down.

But as for me it’s really just as well.
It means that when they ring that bell,
you’ll be heading home and I always
appreciate you coming round.

'Cause, you’re my favorite shot of whiskey.
I’m glad you’re not their cup of tea.
You’re my favorite shot of whiskey
acquired taste,
a pleasure guilty
citrus, vanilla, mint and honey,
river bottom cornfield in mid-July
steamy hot and sunny –
You’re my favorite
shot of whiskey...
