Artist/Band: Hank Williams Jr.
Lyrics for Song: Whiskey On Ice
Lyrics for Album: High Notes [1982]



Woke up this mornin', tastin' Jim Beam

Holdin' the answer, to some ol' boys dream

I gotta bad reputation, guess I made life wild

Like my whiskey on ice and my women on fire



From Memphis to Mobile, I've played all the die

Lord knows I'm lucky, just to still be alive

I'm an all around rebel and I won't be denied

Like my whiskey on ice and my women on fire



I like my whiskey on ice, my women on fire

Like a good soundin' guitar and won't be called a liar

I spent many long night with a burnin' desire

Pour my whiskey on ice and my women on fire



Some folks talk about me, guess they always will

They think it's been an easy ride, and all been down hill

What they don't think about, what they don't realize

Is the shoes that I'm fillin' are a mighty big size



One night in Nashville, tried to take my life

'Cause my friends had all left me, and so had my wife

But a fast flight to Florida, made me realize

I had some whiskey on ice and some Florida women on fire



I like my whiskey on ice, my women on fire

Like a good soundin' guitar, and won't be called a liar

I spent many long nights, with a burnin' desire

Pour my whiskey on ice, and my women on fire



I like my whiskey on ice, women on fire

Like a good feelin' guitar, and won't be called a liar

I may grow old, but I'll never grow tired

Of my whiskey on ice and my women, women on fire


Whiskey On Ice

Hank Williams Jr.'s 'Whiskey On Ice' stands as a defining track from his 1982 album High Notes, showcasing his mastery of the honky-tonk and country rock genres. Recorded during a pivotal era in his career, the song blends his father's traditional country roots with a sharper, more aggressive edge that characterized his adult development. The recording features his signature vocal delivery, characterized by a gritty, raspy tone that cut through the mix with raw intensity. As a staple of his discography, the track exemplifies the outlaw spirit that would become central to his identity, capturing the tension between rural tradition and modern rock influences. It remains a powerful example of his ability to craft songs that resonate deeply with audiences while maintaining a distinct sonic signature.
