Kentucky Deluxe by Ben Chapman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm as shy as a dime is to a dollar
So it takes a glass or two to find the nerve
That a whisper in a world of shouts and hollers
Needs to speak on up so he gets heard

[Verse 2]
You look like you stepped out of a paintin'
Climbed right from the frame and come to life
Well, sober, I'm a train wreck in the makin'
It does no good to keep my powder dry
If I'm gonna have a shot tonight

[Chorus]
Well, I'm gonna need to double down on whiskey
So I can muster up the kind of buzz
To bring my odds at least to fifty-fifty
'Cause half a chance beats not takin' one
Well, I hope this glass of Kentucky Deluxe
Gets thе cat that's always got my tongue
To tuck his tail and run
[Verse 3]
Well, damn, it went down roughеr than a candle
But you sure fanned the fire of my flame
And I figured after one more I could handle
Walkin' up and askin' you your name
So hey, brother, how about one more of the same?

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm gonna need to double down on whiskey
So I can muster up the kind of buzz
To bring my odds at least to fifty-fifty
'Cause half a chance beats not takin' one
Well, I hope this glass of Kentucky Deluxe
Gets the cat that's always got my tongue
To tuck his tail and run

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Well, I'm gonna need to double down on whiskey
So I can muster up the kind of buzz
To bring my odds at least to fifty-fifty
Oh, 'cause half a chance beats not takin' one
Well, I hope this glass of Kentucky Deluxe
Gets the cat that's always got my tongue
To tuck his tail and run
[Outro]
Oh, tuck his tail and run
Oh, tuck his tail and run
'Cause here goes nothin', son
