Whiskey Used to Burn Lyrics


Looked in the mirror today
Found my first line on my face
You know you really don't know how to take
Watching your whiskers turnin' gray
So I closed my eyes
And thought about my life.

When the Whiskey Used to Burn
Oh when the Whiskey used to burn

High School and pick up trucks
Sneaking out with summer love
Yeah you know all those nights you just couldn't get enough
Coming home at 3am
From places we'd never been
Yeah we were all just kids back then
We didn't know first times
It happened just one time

When the Whiskey used to burn
When the Whiskey used to burn
Back when I could still feel my broken heart
Sometimes I wish I could go back to the start
When the Whiskey used to burn

There ain't much I'd change
Sometimes those days

When the Whiskey
Used to burn
When the Whiskey
Used to burn
Back when I could still feel my broken heart
Sometimes I wish I could go back
To the start
Yeah

Whiskey Used to Burn Song Chart
  • Brice recorded some of this nostalgic ballad digitally. The South Carolina singer explained in a Walmart Soundcheck video that he and songwriters Rob Hatch and Lance Miller penned the song sitting around a picnic table during Jerrod Niemann's album release party. Needing to save their rough cut, they saved it onto Brice's phone. "And during this work tape, there's kids running around and there's screen doors squeaking open,"he said. "We had no idea until we listened back to it. This work tape, it was magic. There's this life in it!"

    Once Brice started laying down the song with his band in the studio, he realized it was lacking something. "I missed those kids talking in the background and I missed those doors squeaking and the wind blowing," he said. "So what you're hearing on the record, the first half of it is the work tape, and then it morphs into the studio version."
