VERSE
Another night at this empty bar, just the two of us Me and my broken heart
Lookin’ deep into this bottle, thinkin’ I oughta try to figure this thing out
Since you left I spend most my nights just tryin’ to see
But, the answers to all my questions are right in front of me


CHORUS
What in the world would Jim Beam Do?
He’d sit beside me near this old bar stool
Let me ramble ‘bout my messed-up life
Probably end all these sleepless nights
He’d stay right here till the hurtin’s gone
Make me forget what I came here for
Yeah, he’d help me get over you
That’s just what Jim Beam would do


VERSE
Last call two a.m., we both had the best time yet
Talkin’ all ‘bout the world, redhead girls, smokin’ half lit cigarettes
Told the bartender one more thing as the night came to an end
Tomorrow would he save these spots for me and my old friend


CHORUS
What in the world would Jim Beam Do?
If all he found was an old empty stool
Who would ramble ‘bout their messed-up life?
Don’t worry I’ll be here tomorrow night
And we’ll hang out till the hurtin’s gone
He’ll make me forget what I came here for
Yeah, he’ll help me get over you
That’s just what Jim Beam would do

Yeah, he helps me get over you
That’s what Jim Beam would do

Another night in this empty bar, just the two of us…
