Whiskey Forward captures both sides of a whiskey-soaked night—two voices trading lines of temptation and truth before colliding in harmony. Two perspectives, one hook: Whiskey Forward. A rare country duet where voices circle temptation and truth, colliding in a chorus built for barrooms and radio alike.

Whiskey Forward
Duet - Female-focused
By Brad Mays
maysbrad@gmail.com
Verse - Female Vocal
I’m two or three sheets deep
From throwin’ ’em back neat
Since I walked in this bar tonight
Verse - Male Vocal
Ain’t in her usual nature
To dial in bad behavior
But the way this one’s going she just might
Pre-chorus - Female Vocal
Bartender set up another round
Nothin’s gonna slow me down
Once I cross that thin brown line
Chorus - Female Vocal
I get a little whiskey forward
When over served and unsupervised
With inhibitions lowered
Might just say and do what’s on my mind
Should take more care, but Lord I swear
Once I’ve crossed that line
I get a little out of order
When I get whiskey forward
Verse - Male Vocal
There’s a fire burning in her eyes
That’s getting hotter under neon lights
And it won’t be long ’til her unwind’s unwound
Verse - Female Vocal
I’m gonna take a little ride
On that Tennessee wine
Nothin’s gonna slow me down
Chorus - Female Vocal
I get a little whiskey forward
When over served and unsupervised
With inhibitions lowered
Might just say and do what’s on my mind
I should take more care, but Lord I swear
Once I’ve crossed that line
I get a little out of order
When I get whiskey forward
Female/Male Trade-off Bridge
Bridge
[Female Vocal] Clear liquor don’t do me right
[Male Vocal] She likes cold beer but not tonight
[Female Vocal] I should dial it back I know
First the mind then the vision goes
[Male Vocal] But if you’re in that disposition
[Female Vocal] I’ve got a whisky proposition
Chorus - Female and Male Vocal
Let’s get a little whiskey forward
Over served and unsupervised
With inhibitions lowered
Let’s say and do what’s on our mind
We could wake up with regret
And things we can’t forget
But once we’ve crossed that line
We’ll get a little out of order
We get a little out of order
When we get whiskey forward
We’ll get a little out of order
When we get whiskey forward
We’ll get a little out of order
When we get whiskey forward
