[Verse 1]
'Round half past noon today
I was gettin' that middle-finger wave
And watchin' her CJ-7 fade off in the distance
So I walked back in the house
Took my old Friday bar boots out
And now the real me is about to make a reappearance
[Pre-Chorus]
She's probably crossin' that state line
I'm in a dodged-a-bullet state of mind
[Chorus]
Sippin' whiskey like champagne
This here's a little more happy hour than it is a heartache
Way more two-for-one than drinkin' 'bout the one that got away
Yeah, that ain't what's goin' on here today
I bet you're thinkin' I'm rеal hurt
But I dusted off an old pickup line, it turns out it still works
Now I'm lost in a conversation with a tеn in a Tennessee T-shirt
And she wants to celebrate
So we're sittin' here, sippin' whiskey like it's champagne
[Verse 2]
Movin' on don't take too long
When the Maker's Mark is goin' down like Dom
Didn't even notice that our song, it started playin'
She's takin' selfies on my phone
I'm in the clear, I'm in the zone
[Chorus]
Sippin' whiskey like champagne
This here's a little more happy hour than it is a heartache
Way more two-for-one than drinkin' 'bout the one that got away
Yeah, that ain't what's goin' on here today
I bet you're thinkin' I'm real hurt
But I dusted off an old pickup line, it turns out it still works
Now I'm lost in a conversation with a ten in a Tennessee T-shirt
And she wants to celebrate
So we're sittin' here, sippin' whiskey like it's champagne
[Bridge]
Yeah, here's to me and here's to you
And here's to findin' someone new
Who's lookin' pretty cute
[Chorus]
Sippin' whiskey like champagne
This here's a little more happy hour than it is a heartache
Way more two-for-one than drinkin' 'bout the one that got away
Yeah, that ain't what's goin' on here today
I bet you're thinkin' I'm real hurt
But I dusted off an old pickup line, it turns out it still works
Now I'm lost in a conversation with a ten in a Tennessee T-shirt
And she wants to celebrate
So we're sittin' here, sippin' whiskey like it's champagne
[Outro]
