Lyrics

He was leaning on the bar
Hat pulled down, looking hard
I caught him looking once or twice
So I smiled and broke the ice

Said, “Cowboy, what you drinking?”
He said, “Whatever you just said”
I laughed and leaned in closer
Watched the whiskey hit his head

He said, “Girl, that voice is trouble”
I said, “You ain't heard nothing yet”
You say my voice goes down like whiskey
Little bit smoky, little bit sweet
Gets under your skin, burns going down
Leaves you wanting another round

I can whisper your name like a secret
I can sing it till the whole room knows
You say my voice goes down like whiskey
Baby, you ain't heard the high notes

Now he's two-stepping my direction
Like the whole thing's his idea
Little closer every chorus
Till he's whispering in my ear

He says, “Girl, you're gonna kill me”
I say, “Honey, you'll survive”
Then I pull him by his buckle
And let the band kick into drive

He said, “Girl, that voice is trouble”
I said, “You ain't heard nothing yet”

You say my voice goes down like whiskey
Little bit smoky, little bit sweet
Gets under your skin, burns going down
Leaves you wanting another round

I can whisper your name like a secret
I can sing it till the whole room knows
You say my voice goes down like whiskey
Baby, you ain't heard the high notes

Last call lights came shining
He said, “Guess I oughta go”
I hooked one finger through his belt loop
Said, “Not so fast, cowboy”

You can blame it on the bourbon
You can blame it on the song
But I've had my eye on you, boy
Since before you came along

You say my voice goes down like whiskey
Little bit smoky, little bit sweet
Gets under your skin, burns going down
Leaves you wanting another round

I can whisper your name like a secret
I can sing it till the whole room knows
You say my voice goes down like whiskey—

Baby...
NOW you've heard the high notes

Guess I lassoed me a cowboy
Without ever throwing rope
