I’ve spent many a days in a backwood haze just like my daddy did
But head to toe in sawdust wasn’t the way I wanted to live
But don’t think for a second I don’t look up to a man who works that hard
‘Cause if it wasn’t for that old sawmill I wouldn’t have this guitar
That’s worth a whiskey
So go ahead and raise your glass
That’s worth a whiskey
To everybody busting their ass
That’s worth a whiskey
That’s worth a whiskey
Well, these smoke filled bars don’t my pay my bills but they damn sure fill my lungs
With nicotine and breath to sing these worn out country songs
But late at night when the well runs dry
And they light up that sawdust floor
I’ll hold my head up high ‘cause that’s what daddy worked for
And that’s worth a whiskey
So go ahead and raise your glass
That’s worth a whiskey
To everybody busting their ass
That’s worth a whiskey
That’s worth a whiskey
(Take it boys)
That’s worth a whiskey
So go ahead and raise your glass
That’s worth a whiskey
To everybody busting their ass
That’s worth a whiskey
That’s worth a whiskey
So go ahead and raise your glass
That’s worth a whiskey
To everybody busting their ass
That’s worth a whiskey
That’s worth a whiskey
(Damn right it is)
