Whiskey In Reverse Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m sitting on a rerun couch
Looking ’round at an empty house
Hungover, trying to figure out
Just how the hell that I got here
Can’t blame it on Colorado
Tanqueray, no reposado
I could try but I know that I sure
Can’t blame it on ice cold beer
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s an empty Jack bottle by the coffee cup
Did a lot more hurt than good
Girl, I know that I can’t fill it back up
But if I could
[Chorus]
You’d be backing in the driveway
You’d be un-saying, “I’m leaving”
I’d be pulling my fist from the drywall
Watching my bloody knuckles start healing
I wouldn’t have a worst enemy
I’d be un-slamming that bedroom door
It’d be a better version of me
Like I used to be, like I was before
Your bags are packed and your keys were in your purse
If I could drink whiskey in reverse
[Verse 2]
If I could keep turning back time
To my seventeen-self
And tell me the first pull of that stuff
Will lead you to leaving
I would’ve drank anything else
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but that ain’t the case
I took it down like a wild-eyed country boy would
Girl and I know I can’t fill it back up
But if I could
[Chorus]
You’d be backing in the driveway
You’d be un-saying, “I’m leaving”
I’d be pulling my fist from the drywall
Watching my bloody knuckles start healing
I wouldn’t have a worst enemy
I’d be un-slamming that bedroom door
It’d be a better version of me
Like I used to be, like I was before
Your bags are packed and your keys were in your purse
If I could drink whiskey in reverse
[Bridge]
It’s a damn shame, the sun don’t set in the East
‘Cause that’s the only way, you’d come back to me
[Chorus]
You’d be backing in the driveway
You’d be un-saying, “I’m leaving”
I’d be pulling my fist from the drywall
Watching my bloody knuckles start healing
I wouldn’t have a worst enemy
I’d be un-slamming that bedroom door
It’d be a better version of me
Like I used to be, like I was before
Your bags are packed and your keys were in your purse
If I could drink whiskey in reverse

Whiskey In Reverse Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
The guy’s sitting alone on an old couch, probably watching TV reruns, in a quiet, empty house. He’s hungover and trying to make sense of how things ended up this bad. He’s running through all the usual things people blame—different drinks, even the place he’s from—but deep down, he knows alcohol isn’t really the reason. It’s his actions that caused the damage.
[Pre-Chorus]
He sees an empty bottle of Jack sitting there, a reminder that the drinking didn’t help—it only made things worse. He knows he can’t undo the damage or refill the bottle and start over. But he wishes he could.
[Chorus]
He’s imagining what life would be like if he could undo everything. His girl would still be coming home, not leaving. He wouldn’t have punched the wall in anger, and his hands wouldn’t be bleeding. He wouldn’t feel like his own worst enemy. The fights wouldn’t have happened, and the door wouldn’t have been slammed. He’d be a better man again—the one she loved before. She wouldn’t be walking out with her bags and keys if he had the power to rewind everything like playing whiskey in reverse.
[Verse 2]
He thinks back to when he was seventeen and wishes he could warn his younger self. If he knew that drinking would someday be the reason she left, he says he would’ve chosen anything else to drink instead of going down that path.
[Pre-Chorus]
But that’s not how life worked out. He drank like a wild young guy who didn’t know better. And again, he knows he can’t undo it now, but still wishes he could.
[Chorus]
He keeps picturing that second chance—her pulling back into the driveway instead of leaving. He’d take back every angry moment, every punch in the wall, and let those wounds heal. He wouldn’t feel like he’s against himself. The shouting and slamming doors wouldn’t have happened. He’d be his old self again—the guy she loved before everything fell apart. If only he could rewind time like a whiskey bottle being refilled.
[Bridge]
He says it’s a shame that the sun doesn’t set in the East, because that’s the only way things could go backward—and the only way she’d ever come back to him.
[Chorus]
He’s stuck in this fantasy of making everything right. Her car would be coming back, not leaving. He’d take back every hurtful action and let himself heal. He wouldn’t feel like his own worst enemy anymore. That angry moment at the door would be erased. He misses the better man he used to be—the version she once loved. And her leaving wouldn’t be real if he could just turn whiskey into a way to go back.
