lyrics

Oh Mr. Daniels
I don’t think I need you anymore
I’ve found a lover sharper than the whiskey that you used to pour
Out for me
Out for me

Oh gin and tonic
You were really good friends of mine
Now I’ve got a honey who seems to take up all my time
But that’s okay
Y’all were getting boring anyway

And I want you to know
You won’t paint my cheeks with your afterglow
And I’ll keep you and the nicotine stored
Safely in the cabinet and out of my routine
Found me a baby so sober and true
I can’t believe I ever needed you
To get me high
‘Cos my babe gets me high

Oh captain
Oh captain Morgan
I’m afraid your ship has docked for good and I hope it’s understood
You won’t be setting sail down my throat
Listen here
Listen here doubting Thomas
Don’t you think you have to listen to the empty promises that
Alcohol gives you

Because one day
You’ll find a lovely lady
Who can make you smile, get you high and make you think maybe
You could pour it out for them
I could pour it out for them

And I want you to know
You won’t paint my cheeks with your afterglow
And I’ll keep you and the nicotine stored
Safely in the cabinet and out of my routine
Found me a baby so sober and true
I can’t believe I ever needed you
To get me high
‘Cos my babe gets me high
To get me high
‘Cos my love gets me high
