[Intro: Canaan Smith]
Mmhh
Mmhh
[Verse 1: Canaan Smith]
Sat in silence in the kitchen
Cutting tension with a knife
Didn't bring up all the drinking
She was done with wasting time
One tank of gas in the Pontiac
Two bags in the trunk
She slipped out the back at three AM
Leaving in the dust
[Chorus: Canaan Smith]
Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser
Glass bleeding on the paper
Ring around the goodbye letters
He couldn't put down that Tennessee
Now she's gone forever
Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser
Mmhh
[Verse 2: Canaan Smith, Emily Weisband, both]
Wrote thе reasons on a loose sleeve
And shе taped it to the bottle
Knowing good and damn well he'd find it
And it's a cold hard proof to swallow
For her it's a fact that he chose Jack
For him it's the fact she won't come back
The curtain falls and the ink dries
The devil laughs and an angel cries
[Chorus: both]
Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser
Glass bleeding on the paper
Ring around the goodbye letters
He couldn't put down that Tennessee
Now she's gone forever
Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser
Mmhh
[Bridge:
Yeah quiet house and an empty bed
That's enough to make you suffer
You can pour a drink or pour it down the sink
Either way you're sober
[Chorus: both]
Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser
Glass bleeding on the paper
Ring around the goodbye letters
He couldn't put down that Tennessee
Now she's gone forever
Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser
Diamond on the dresser
Mmhh
Mmhh
