Whiskey On Ice Lyrics by Jesse Ruben

Thoughts I’ve Never Had Before, Part 2 - EP

2012

[Verse 1]
They met in the back of a bar somewhere outside Atlanta
And she gave him a wink when he ordered a whiskey on ice
She said, "Cowboy, I don't trust you one little bit"
He said, "You should go back to the man that you're with here tonight"
Here tonight
Here tonight
[Chorus 1]
And she said, "I don't know how much it's going to cost me to love you
I don't know how much I'm going to lose in this fight
I don't know how much it's going to cost me to love you
But baby I'll try, baby I'll try, baby I'll try"
[Verse 2]
Seven days later she came to his door with the letters
That she wrote late at night as she tried not to cry in her room
She said, "Somewhere inside I know you're a good man"
He said, "I try to hide it as best as I can"
It's too soon
Way too soon
[Chorus 2]
And he said, "I don't know how much it's going to cost me to love you
I don't know how much it's going to damage my pride
I don't know how much it's going to cost me to love you
But baby I'll try, baby I'll try, baby I'll try"
[Verse 3]
Many years later he met her alone on a sidewalk
She asked "Are you still drinking whiskey, or have you moved on?"
He said, "I'm not the man that I was when we met"
She said, "I'm not the woman I was way back then. We were young, way too young"
[Chorus 3]
And they both said, "I don't know how much it's going to cost me to love you
I don't know how much I'm going to lose in this fight
I don't know how much it's going to cost me to love you
But baby I'll try, baby I'll try, baby I'll try"
[Chorus 4]
Cause they both said, "I don't know how much it's going to cost me to love you
But I wanna know what it's like when you kiss me goodnight
I don't know how much it's going to cost me to love you
But baby I'll try, baby I'll try, baby I'll try
Baby I'll try, baby I'll try, baby I'll try"
