You Proof

Yeah, I’ve been
throwin’ down the whiskey
I oughta get my money back
And someone said
it drowns a memory
Ah, but it ain’t doing jack
Yeah, I’ve been sippin’,
I’ve been buzzin’
Shootin’ doubles like it’s nothin’
Ah, but nothin’ makes you go away
I need something you proof
Somethin’ stronger than I’m used to
Yeah, I’ve been pourin’
ninety to a hundred
Feel like nothing’s gonna cut it,
that’s the hard truth
Yeah, I need something you proof
Oh, I need something you proof
Poured ’em up
’til they’re shuttin’ ’em down, yeah
You never ain’t not around, yeah
Don’t matter what time, what town
I can’t get you gone
Turn the bar, yeah, upside down
Just looking for
somethin’ that does it
I give ’em all my money
Ain’t nobody sellin’
nothing you proof
Somethin’ stronger than
I’m used to
Yeah, I’ve been pourin’
ninety to a hundred
Feel like nothing’s gonna cut it,
that’s the hard truth
Yeah, I need something you proof
Oh, I need something you proof
Hey, I’ve been mixing liquors
tryin’ to get you gone
Ah, but I must be
doin’ somethin’ wrong
‘Cause I’ve been working hard to
fade your memory
Baby, but the only thing faded is me
I need something you proof
Somethin’ stronger than I’m used to
Yeah, I’ve been pourin’
ninety to a hundred
Feel like nothing’s gonna cut it,
that’s the hard truth
I need something you proof
(Poured ’em up
’til they’re shuttin’ ’em down, yeah)
Ah, I need something you proof
(you never ain’t not around)

(Turn the bar, yeah, upside down)
(Just looking for
somethin’ that does it)
(I’ll give ’em all my money)
