She caught me on the back porch once again

In the middle of a fight we both knew I couldn't win

Then she came up from behind and took my glass

And she said, hold me instead and soon the urge will pass

And then she whispered, I'm forever by your side

And together we can beat this thing one step at a time

And then she kissed me and it moved me

She took away the fear and pain

And gave something new to soothe me

She said she needs me and she loves me

And with a woman as strong as that

Who needs the whiskey

I kept my weakness hidden for so long

But she gave me the strength to admit I'd been wrong

And when I asked her why she stood right by my side

She said you'd do the same for me with tears in her eyes

And then she wrapped her arms around me and held me close

And said if ever you need something strong, well baby

Just let me know

And then she kissed me and it moved me

She took away the fear and pain

And gave something new to soothe me

She said she needs me and she loves me

And with a woman as strong as that

Who needs the whiskey

She says she loves me and she'd never leave me

And with a woman as strong as that

With a woman as strong as that

Well who needs the whiskey

I'm free

Who needs the whiskey
