Whiskey and Water Towers

[Verse 1]Well I rolled into town with a six-string dream They said, "Son, you'll go far if you stick to the theme"So I slapped on some boots and a ball cap too And wrote the same old song just like they told me to

[Chorus]It’s whiskey and water towers, trucks in the mud for hours A blonde on a tailgate singin’ sweet just like the flowersGot a dog in the cab, and a flag in the breezeYeah, we write ‘em all the same just to keep y’all pleased So here’s your boots, your beer, your small-town power—We’re livin’ large off whiskey and water towers

[Verse 2]Now the label says "smile," so I crack one wideGot a lifted Ford and a model by my side But the truth don’t sell, just the same ol’ soundSo I fake that drawl and let the track spin round

[Chorus]It’s whiskey and water towers, trucks in the mud for hours A blonde on a tailgate singin’ sweet just like the flowers Got a dog in the cab, and a flag in the breezeYeah, we write ‘em all the same just to keep y’all pleased So here’s your boots, your beer, your small-town power—We’re livin’ large off whiskey and water towers

[Bridge]Now don't get me wrong, I love the dirt and steel But I ain’t a punchline in some highlight reel So I’ll tip my hat, and I’ll play the part But I’ll sneak the truth into this chart-top chart

[Final Chorus]It’s whiskey and water towers, paintin’ by the numbers now With a Nashville smile and a borrowed vowYeah, I’ll ride that wave, playin' what sells through the speakers But you best believe I’m still one of the seekersSo here’s your boots, your beer, your small-town power—We’re cashin’ checks off whiskey and water towers
