About This Song


Whiskey is a standard in Country music. You can hardly hear a country song without it. However, this one approaches from a different angle, and how it can destroy your life, but also how God can deliver you from it. It’s also a “reply” song to Cole Swindell’s “She Ain’t Worth The Whiskey”. This one made it to #26 on Christian Music Weekly Country chart.

Ain’t No Whiskey Worth...

Written by Will Gunnell

Vs:
Started off so innocent
One beer between two friends
From a case my daddy bought
Hoping we won't get caught

Soon the beer was not enough
Moved on to the harder stuff
Never thought that it would lead
From a wanting to a need

Climb:
Couldn't hold a job
And I couldn't stop

Ch:
I was losing everything
My car, my home, my wedding ring
What meant most to me in life
I gave up as sacrifice
I couldn't see what I had done
What started out as just for fun
Got so far out of control
Devil tried to take my soul
Beyond the point of never turning back
Ain't no whiskey worth that

Vs:
I was bulletproof and 10 feet tall
Heart pumped pure alcohol
I drank the best, brought out my worst
I'd fight, fall, crawl, and curse

Abusive to my wife and kids
So ashamed of what I did
Knowing if I couldn't quit
Death would be the end of it

Climb:
My family don't deserve this
Man it just ain't worth it

Bridge:
I knelt down on the floor
Lord I can't do this no more
I've got nothing left to lose
It's time I turn to you

Ch 2:
I'm tired of losing everything
My car, my home, my wedding ring
What means the most to me in life
I can't give as sacrifice
Now I see what I have done
(I wasn't fooling anyone)
What started out as just for fun
God you have control
Devil cannot take my soul
Beyond the point of never turning back
I laid it down and I'm not going back
Ain't no whiskey worth that
