Capo 5th fret

x2

Everybody down in Houston calls him Texas

Everybody way up north calls him cornbread

You should've heard the way that his mama called him "baby"

Daddy called him "boy", his friends called him "crazy"

Shoulda just called it like i saw it

Shoulda just called for help and ran like hell that day

The burn, and the sting, and the high, and the heat

 and the left-me-wantin'-more feeling when he kissed me

I shoulda just called him "whiskey"

Warmed my body to the core just like a blanket

Tasted so sweet then you took my breath away

Hit me so hard like a rock through a window

i knew i was in trouble from the moment i met you, boy

Shoulda just called it like i saw it

Shoulda just called for help and ran like hell that day

The burn, and the sting, and the high, and the heat

 and the left-me-wantin'-more feeling when he kissed me

I shoulda just called him "whiskey"

Now the numb set in

He's gone like the wind

and I can barely feel the pain

Shoulda just called it like i saw it

Shoulda just called for help and ran like hell that day

The burn, and the sting, and the high, and the heat

 and the left-me-wantin'-more feeling when he kissed me

I shoulda just called him "whiskey"

The burn, and the sting, and the high, and the heat

 and the left-me-wantin'-more feeling when he kissed me

I shoulda just called him "whiskey" (3x)
