Whiskey On You
Nate Smith Lyrics

Ain't gonna waste one more night missin', wanting you back

To hell with the lonely and the why don't you want me?
Yeah, bartender pour me a farewell round
Line 'em up (line 'em up), make 'em strong (make 'em strong)
Tell the band that I need me a drinkin' song

Ain't gonna waste one more night missin', wanting you back
No, I ain't gonna cry another tear in this glass
You didn't waste any time finding somebody new
So, I ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you
No, I ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you (yeah)
No, I ain't, no, I ain't

Ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you, no
Ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you

Line 'em up (line 'em up), pour 'em tall (pour 'em tall)
Here's to us happily never after all

Ain't gonna waste one more night missin', wanting you back
No, I ain't gonna cry another tear in this glass
You didn't waste any time finding somebody new
So, I ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you
No, I ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you

No, I ain't (ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you), yeah
No, I ain't (ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you), yeah
Ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you
No, I ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you

No, I ain't
No, I ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you

In "Whiskey on You," Nate Smith sings about a broken heart and the lengths he's gone to numb the pain. He admits to wasting a paycheck on whiskey and longnecks ever since the person he loved left him. He tries to figure out the situation by drinking Jack. However, it never helps to ease his pain as he has a new reason for throwing 'em down. Then he finally decides that he is done crying and missing that person. He won't shed another tear in this glass or waste a drop of Jack on someone who didn't value his love. Regardless of what his former love does, he is done wasting time and energy on it. The chorus proclaims his newfound resolve to never waste another drop of whiskey on his ex.

The song expresses a very relatable human emotion of throwing oneself into bad habits such as drinking to avoid dealing with heartbreak. It's a song about learning to move on and picking yourself up after a heartbreak. The line, "To hell with the longing, and the why don't you want me," perfectly summarizes the feeling of being tired of chasing after someone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings.

Now I've wasted a paycheck on whiskey and longnecks
I've spent a lot of money on whiskey and beer since you left me

Ever since you left, trying to figure this out
I've been trying to understand why you left me

This Jack I've been drinking's been wasted on thinking
I've been drinking Jack Daniels while thinking about you, but it's not helping

Now I got a new reason for throwing 'em down
But now I have a new reason to drink and party - moving on from you

Line 'em up (line 'em up), pour 'em tall (pour 'em tall)
Let's order more drinks and fill up our glasses

Here's to us, happily never after all
Here's to us, even though we didn't have a happy ending

Ain't gonna waste one more night missin', wanting you back
I'm not going to spend another night missing you and wanting you back

No, I ain't gonna cry another tear in this glass
I won't cry any more tears while drinking

You didn't waste any time finding somebody new
You found someone new very quickly after we broke up

So, I ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you
So, I'm not going to waste any more whiskey on you

To hell with the lonely and the why don't you want me?
I don't care about being lonely or why you don't want me anymore

Yeah, bartender pour me a farewell round
Bartender, give me one last drink before I move on

Line 'em up (line 'em up), make 'em strong (make 'em strong)
Line up more drinks, and make them strong

Tell the band that I need me a drinkin' song
Ask the band to play a song about drinking to keep the party going

No, I ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you (yeah)
I'm definitely not going to waste any more whiskey on you

Ain't gonna waste one more night missin', wanting you back
I won't spend any more nights missing you and wanting you back

No, I ain't gonna cry another tear in this glass
I'm done crying while drinking

No, I ain't (ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you), yeah
I'm telling you again that I'm not wasting any more whiskey on you

Ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you
I'm really not wasting any more whiskey on you
