John Mayer - Whisky, Whisky, Whisky Lyrics






We pick up in New York City
Tryin' to find the man I never got to be
When I push down on the pavement
I found the whole thing so much harder than it seems

The only deal I ever signed
No devil drew a dotted line
The stage was set, the words were mine
I'm not complaining

Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Wake up, shake it off
And repeat

It's just a phase
It's not forever
It's just a phase
But I still might have a ways to go

Every night around this time
My friends and I, we treat it like a race
When I really start to break it down
I wouldn't trust a girl who knew about this place

Walking home with no one left
Speak softly underneath my breath
Hey world, you ain't seen nothing yet
Great, now it's raining

Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Wake up, shake it off
And repeat

It's just a phase
It's not forever
It's just a phase
But I still might have a ways

Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep
Dreamed somebody missed me
Wake up, shake it off
And repeat it, repeat it, repeat after me

Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Cut me off and pour me in the street

Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey
Water, water, water
Sleep

John Mayer Whisky, Whisky, Whisky Comments
  1. M.... H....

    I LOVE YOU, SOMEONE..

  2. T.... B....

    great video

  3. A.... G....

    Alright, this might be one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. How so many people don’t know who John Mayer is when I bring his name up blows my mind.

  4. L.... S....

    He can imitate it practically perfectly; but a tall, dark white boy from the upper middle class suburbs... who gets all and any of the world's elite women, and they all fall in love with him even after he sleeps with them n leaves them.... How much of "the blues" can he really have??

    The blues ain't a chord progression; the blues are a verb...

    Having said that... Such a great song!

  5. A.... S....

    Classic Montana views!

  6. D.... W....

    Born & Raised is still my favourite album of his. This particular gem is often overlooked but us real JM fans know the deal.

  7. G.... C....

    This song and I we have a thing👀

  8. G.... C....

    ❤️🥺

  9. D.... G....

    Those harmonicas choke me up

  10. L.... W....

    Montana days

  11. J.... D....

    And a few years later, he quit drinking...Hearing him sing this now is so much more powerful knowing that. So happy for him.

  12. H.... J....

    it's just a phase..

  13. T.... M....

    I love how his music changes with his life and age. Just shows he's not making music to just sale and make money. He writes what he's feeling and whether it becomes a big hit is irrelevant. True artisit

  14. H.... G....

    Thats one off the best's lyrics of John songs.

  15. D.... A....

    gets me everytime 4:02

  16. j.... ....

    Trying to get sober but it's stronger than me. It's tearing me apart, Lisa

  17. c.... c....

    There's something really special about this album

  18. M.... G....

    Love this song John! Been there many times. Love the harmonica. West Virginia boy here and a great song to play by my mountain stream property and a campfire along with great company that you seem to be following. Neil Young live Cortez for one! Love the sound of a good strum and harmonica echoing thru the valley and streams by the 🔥

  19. f.... ....

    Where it was recorded?

  20. f.... ....

    1:19 What your family says when you tell them you are on the left-wing

    f.... ....

    Was the same with me honestly, lol but they were right. Was super liberal left-wing when I was 18-24. Just keep your mind open and think for yourself

  21. Y.... ....

    “I wouldn’t trust a girl who knew about this place” ..

    Y.... ....

    Hi , Im not english native. Could you tell me what does mean that line within the song?

    Y.... ....

    erick patino just that he wouldn’t be able to be in a relationship with a woman that drank and behaved like he did...he is realizing why he has no one.

    Y.... ....

    @Jillian Dankel Oh thnks, I thought something related but your appreciation is quite more deep than mine. Thkns again Sir!

    Y.... ....

    you are safe with me John💯😊🍌🤣🐒👧👫

  22. M.... A....

    Indomie seleraku, jhon mayer terbaik. Nice..............easy listening.

    M.... A....

    saya ayam bawang yaa satu

  23. K.... O....

    I love these videos. I hope more are on the way.

  24. c.... c....

    I love his music....... it's gives me so much drive and passion to keep playing and doing my own thing

  25. T.... K....

    Can someone send the harmonica tab for this song?

  26. c.... c....

    Bruh I know where he lives in fact it's not that far from where I live. Be jealous bitches

  27. E.... ....

    This song and video make me think about my life...is a long journey. thank's John for a good song and good video. "Born and Raised" is my best album from him. really save my feeling about my life.

    E.... ....

    EL R Love it ! 👍🏼

    E.... ....

    yeah its great album

  28. L.... O....

    But I still might have a way to go...

  29. A.... A....

    How does John do this goddammit!

  30. c.... w....

    I love how exasperated he sounds when he sings "oh great now it's raining"

    c.... w....

    The contrast between the bold assertion, "world you ain't seen nothin' yet" and the lamentation over something as trivial as rain is simply a brilliant lyric.

  31. C.... ....

    you're gonna carry that weight...

  32. b.... s....

    I want more of these!

  33. D.... D....

    I'm stunned by his lyrics Lifechanging shit right there

  34. s.... V....

    Love this song.

  35. S.... P....

    I am a fan of his music, but it's sad this song sounds so much like Ray Lamontagne's "Empty".

    S.... P....

    no it doesn't. both songs are good in their own way. and very different. empty is a lot sadder.

    S.... P....

    They don't sound similar, at all. Empty is all about sadness this song is about hope. Both are good songs but not alike !

  36. J.... L....

    Thank you for this. Thank you

  37. l.... f....

    nice!w w w w

  38. H.... ....

    I love that John himself made these videos

    H.... ....

    It was him that actually made these? Wow that awesome

    H.... ....

    @A. He's the coolest

    H.... ....

    WHAT??????? REALLLY?????? Any proof?

    H.... ....

    Where is the original source from
    Where were these videos first uploaded?

  39. K.... ....

    Best part : it's just a phase, it's not forever, it's just a phase

    K.... ....

    "... but I still might have a ways..."

    I did that. Ten years sober come December. odaat.

    K.... ....

    good job man

    K.... ....

    I was sober from 97-2012. But I'm going through a phase since. I just drink light beer and use medical marijuana.

    K.... ....

    @GramaTat2 John is like 2 years sober now too

    K.... ....

    I stayed drunk

  40. G.... G....

    tears down :(

    G.... G....

    +Gerry Gusman Wibowo Everytime.

  41. C.... B....

    this video totally fits the atmosphere the song creates

  42. N.... B....

    anyone know where this road is? where it was filmed?

    N.... B....

    +Nate Banks I guess montana

    N.... B....

    It's in Tennessee, near Nashville

    N.... B....

    Doctor Big D its actually Montana. its where john was when he wrote this album.

    N.... B....

    Montana, Close to Bozeman, he lives near there in the Paradise Valley north of Yellowstone

  43. S.... A....

    #Saturday  night be like ...

  44. D.... W....

    Excellent

  45. A.... T....

    perfect little video for perfect little song...it captures the mood.I guess is on of those days.I just hope this really big issue is revolved nicely and go back to normal.Oh how i appreciate normality right now.

  46. A.... T....

    These road trip style videos fit the overall feel of the album. It's my summer road trip CD, although with two young kids, these trips are now just to Target and back.

    A.... T....

    Antonio Tyler Sketchworks.. I feel you.

  47. N.... W....

    They're perfect with these songs. I was introduced to John Mayer's music today, with the fabulous Walt Grace pencil animation, but this evening I'm sitting here finding all these roadtrip videos with lyrics, Absolutely perfect. 

  48. F.... E....

    More! 

  49. L.... M....

    Warm....

  50. �.... �....

    What "push down on the pavement" means ??
    if someone knows pls help me out,Im just curious :)

    �.... �....

    I think it's different from pushing down with your heel on soil or grass, when there's some give, some softness. But there's no kindness or comfort in a pavement.

    �.... �....

    Симеон Симеонов hes sort of saying, "when he starts his journey". pushing off the pavement is the action one takes while walking

    �.... �....

    Я думаю это значит что ты ступил ногой на дорогу, что то типо вышел на дорогу

  51. S.... R....

    "Dreamed somebody missed me, wake up, shake it off and repeat" gets me every time. Thanks for the upload Cody

  52. D.... R....

    Wow. The stunningly beautiful brilliance of simplicity. One continuous, visually appealing shot of really lovely, snowy landscape, accompanied by an achingly beautiful and brilliant song. Thanks. Really enjoyed it a lot. This one's in my favorites all day long!

  53. M.... ....

    Hey Cody! I loved this video. In fact, I loved it so much that I included it in an Unofficial Music Video I made for this song. You're credited, of course. Enjoy!

  54. m.... a....

    has anyone read the bio on John Mayer haha wrong John Mayer hahaha
