Yeah, I've been throwing down the whiskey
I 'aught to get my money back
And someone said it drowns a memory
Ah, but it ain't doing jack
Yeah, I've been sippin', I've been buzzin'
Shootin' doubles like it's nothin'
Ah, but nothing makes you go away

I need something you proof
Something stronger than I'm used to
Yeah, I've been pourin' ninety to a hundred
Feel like nothing's gonna cut it, that's the hard truth
Yeah, I need something you proof
Oh, I need something you proof

Put 'em up 'til they shut 'em down, yeah
You never ain't not around, yeah
Don't matter what time, what town
I can't get you gone
Turn a bar, yeah, upside down
Just looking for something that does it
I give 'em all my money

Ain't nobody selling nothing you proof
Something stronger than I'm used to
Yeah, I've been pourin' ninety to a hundred
Feel like nothing's gonna cut it, that's the hard truth
Yeah, I need something you proof
Oh, I need something you proof

Hey, I've been mixing liquors trying to get you gone
Ah, but I must be doing something wrong
'Cause I've been working hard to fade your memory
Baby, but the only thing faded is me
I need something you proof
Something stronger than I'm used to

Yeah, I've been pourin' ninety to a hundred
Feel like nothing's gonna cut it, that's the hard truth
I need something you proof
(put 'em up 'til they shut 'em down, yeah)
Ah, I need something you proof (you never ain't not around)
(Don't matter what time, what town)
(I can't get you gone)
(Turn a bar, yeah, upside down)
(Just looking for something that does it)
(I'll give 'em all my money)
(Ain't nobody selling nothing you proof)
