I was drinking whiskey, she was sipping wine
And she caught my eye....
She's was put together, you could see her style
I got that feeling, Lord it's been awhile
Thought I'd take a try
There was Tex Mex playing on the radio
I walk up to the lady, oh darling
Can I have this dance
She paused for a minute, my heart stood still
Until she smiled and offered me her hand
It's the weed and the whiskey
Gets my head to spinning round
My mind is up in heaven
My body's on the ground
I wonder if she's gone to stay
Wonder does she even miss me
I threw it all away
For the weed and the whiskey
We got married on the third of May
Filled that little church on a Saturday
Then it was Saturday night...
Me and my buddies raised a glass or two
Maybe nine or ten before the night was through
I was feeling alright
Maria asked me would I take it slow
I said don't worry honey, you should go
And talk to your friend
I saw the pain behind her eye
Like she know something we just started
Was starting to end
Chorus
Two years later and I'm on my own
Got a bag and a bottle so I'm not alone
Least that's what I say
No one asking me where I've been
Who I'm with, what state I'm in
Or even how's my day...
I guess some guys are better than me
With the steady job and the family
But that's how it goes
I'm not complaining cause I ain't that way
Besides, what could I even say
It's the life I chose
It's the weed and the whiskey
Gets my head to spinning round
My mind is up in heaven
My body's on the ground
I wonder if she's gone to stay
Wonder does she even miss me
I threw it all away
For the weed and the whiskey
