[English]

I don't care that you done me wrong

'Cause I've already moved on

I don't care what his name is

Girl, it is what it is

I won't waste a dime or the bartender's time

Tryna catch a buzz, over the thought of us

But I'll drink to a country song

To another long work week gone

And I'll raise my glass to a long lost buddy I ain't seen

I might stay for one more round

Or I might close this place down

But don't think for a second I'm out to drown your memory

Baby, you ain't worth the whiskey

...

It don't matter what your friends say

They never liked me anyway

So if they see me drunk in this bar

It ain't over a broken heart

'Cause I'm drinkin' to a country song

To another long work week gone

And I'm raisin' my glass to a long lost buddy I ain't seen

I might stay for one more round

Or I might close this place down

But don't think for a second I'm out to drown your memory

Baby, you ain't worth the whiskey

...

Cheers to a good country song

To another long work week gone

And yeah, I'm raisin' my glass to those savin' our ass overseas

I might stay for one more round

Hell, I might close this place down

But don't think for a second I'm out to drown your memory

No, don't think for one second I'm out to drown your memory

Girl, you ain't worth the whiskey

No

...

Baby, you ain't worth the whiskey

...
