Whenever my life's troubled I got worries in my mind There ain't no better medicine Than three things to get me by Country music, whiskey, and one good friend Mix those three together And my soul will be on the mend The crying of a steel guitar Three chords on a flat top box A fiddle sawed in neon light Let's me know I'm alright An ice cold glass of whiskey Straight or mixed in a drink Sends an amber current To reset the way I think The comfort of one true friend Who knows me like a book Knowing he won't judge me Soothes my aching pain Country music, whiskey, and one good friend Mix those three together And my soul will be on the mend If you see me in a tavern A pub, bar, or saloon The whiskey in my glass is there To ease my worried mind That jukebox playing country tunes Is soothing my damaged pride Come sit down and join me We'll raise our glasses high to Country music, whiskey, and one good friend We'll mix those three together And our souls will be on the mend
