[Verse 1]

Well, I got there late, blame it on the rain

Guess I gotta stay another night

In this town full of lights guys like me don't like

Yeah, I flagged a yellow car, found a smoky bar

Threw this ol' heart on a stool

Let me and this 90-proof do what we gotta do

[Chorus]

So I'm here drinking whiskey in a champagne town

While you're trying not to miss me

Like I'm trying not to miss you now

Blaming you by two and me by three

It's plain to see all I'll ever be to you

Is what I am right now

Nothing but whiskey in a champagne town

[Verse 2]

I was just a stop along the way

Just a phase you were going through

In the back of your mind, you knew

What this was coming to, yeah, so did I

But it still burns tonight just like this

[Chorus]

Whiskey in a champagne town

While you're trying not to miss me

Like I'm trying not to miss you now

Blaming you by two and me by three

It's plain to see all I'll ever be to you

Is what I am right now

Nothing but whiskey in a champagne town

[Chorus]

Sitting here drinking whiskey in a champagne town

Are you trying not to miss me

Like I'm trying not to miss you now?

Blaming you by two and me by three

It's plain to see all I'll ever be to you

Is what I am right now

Nothing but whiskey in a champagne town

[Outro]

Ain't nothing but whiskey, whiskey

In a champagne town

Ain't nothing but whiskey, whiskey

In a champagne town
