[Verse 1]
Well, I got there late, blame it on the rain
Guess I gotta stay another night
In this town full of lights guys like me don't like
Yeah, I flagged a yellow car, found a smoky bar
Threw this ol' heart on a stool
Let me and this 90-proof do what we gotta do

[Chorus]
So I'm here drinking whiskey in a champagne town
While you're trying not to miss me
Like I'm trying not to miss you now
Blaming you by two and me by three
It's plain to see all I'll ever be to you
Is what I am right now
Nothing but whiskey in a champagne town

[Verse 2]
I was just a stop along the way
Just a phase you were going through
In the back of your mind, you knew
What this was coming to, yeah, so did I
But it still burns tonight just like this

[Chorus]
Whiskey in a champagne town
While you're trying not to miss me
Like I'm trying not to miss you now
Blaming you by two and me by three
It's plain to see all I'll ever be to you
Is what I am right now
Nothing but whiskey in a champagne town

[Chorus]
Sitting here drinking whiskey in a champagne town
Are you trying not to miss me
Like I'm trying not to miss you now?
Blaming you by two and me by three
It's plain to see all I'll ever be to you
Is what I am right now
Nothing but whiskey in a champagne town

[Outro]
Ain't nothing but whiskey, whiskey
In a champagne town
Ain't nothing but whiskey, whiskey
In a champagne town

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
