The Hard Stuff
Verse 1
Well it ain't in a bottle
It don’t get better overtime
You can't get it in a tall glass
Or set it up with salt and lime
It ain't the strongest medicine
Just cause it burns going down
You can’t get it by the shot, pour it on the rocks
Or buy it by the round
Chorus
No, the hard stuff is watching you leave me
Goodbye lightin' up a cloud of dust
Yeah, the hard stuff, better believe me
Is one man's treasure in another man's truck
Ain't a bottle on the shelf
That burns worse than the hurt like hell
But knowing you don't need me
Got the hard stuff going down easy
Verse 2
I ain't ever had a sip of nothing
That ties my stomach up in knots
Like seeing you with someone new
And at our same old spots
I ain't ever tested nothing
Ever hit me this way
I can’t put up a fight, it keeps me up all night
It hurts more the next day
Chorus
No, the hard stuff is watching you leave me
Goodbye lightin’ up a cloud of dust
Yeah the hard stuff, better believe me
Is one man's treasure in another man’s trust
Ain't a bottle on the shelf
That burns worse than the hurt like hell
But knowing you don't need me
Got the hard stuff going down down down
Bridge
Like it's water, not a hundred proof fix me
Then pour it out right now
Turns out the missing you misery is the hard stuff
Yeah baby that’s the hard stuff
Chorus
Yeah the hard stuff is watching you leave me
Goodbye lightin' up a cloud of dust
Yeah the hard stuff, better believe me
Is one man's treasure in another man's trust
Ain't a bottle up on the shelf
That burns worse than the hurt like hell
But no way you don't need me
Got the hard stuff going down easy
Got the hard stuff going down easy, yeah
