Thank you my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown for sharing the music video of Jana Kramer performing the country love-song Whiskey

Whiskey written by Catt Gravitt and Sam Mizell. Gravitt is good friends with Jana Kramer and also co-wrote her songs "Love" and "Why Ya Wanna."
Lyrics
"Everybody down in Houston calls him Texas
Everybody way up north calls him cornbread
You should've heard the way that his mama calls him baby
Daddy calls him boy, his friends call him crazy
Shoulda just called it like I saw it
Shoulda just called for help and ran like hell that day
The burn and the sting and the high and the heat
And the left me one more feeling when he kissed me
I shoulda just called him whiskey
Warm my body to the core just like a blanket
It tasted so sweet then you took my breath away
Hit me so hard like a rock through a window
I knew I was in trouble from the moment I met you, boy
Shoulda just called it like I saw it
Shoulda just called for help and ran like hell that day
The burn and the sting and the high and the heat
And the…"

"One Tree Hill actress and country singer Jana Kramer premiered this song on the April 26, 2011 episode of the young adult drama. She told Just Jared: "On the show, Quinn (Shantel VanSanten) asks Alex (Kramer) to perform a song at Club Trick and 'Whiskey' seemed like such a good fit for this particular episode because the characters are all facing different areas of losses and finding ways to deal with the pain. One of the things I love about the song 'Whiskey' is that it's something everyone can relate to because we've all had moments in our life that we wish we could take back."
The song compares a man to whiskey. Asked by The Boot if she likes whiskey, Kramer replied: "It's my second favorite drink. Wine's my favorite and then I love whiskey. Just depends on the mood."
This song was written by Catt Gravitt and Sam Mizell. Gravitt is good friends with Jana Kramer and also co-wrote her songs "Love" and "Why Ya Wanna."

Mizell is not someone who you would expect to write a song called "Whiskey" - he's a top Contemporary Christian writer whose credits include the Matthew West song "The Motions" and The Band Perry song "Peaches and Caroline." Mizell had the line "Should've just called her Whiskey" kicking around in his head for a while, envisioning it as a song about a Jezebel who a guy can't get out of his head. Gravitt convinced him to flip the gender so it would be appropriate for Kramer, and the rest of the song was written very quickly."

Lt Col Charlie Brown Jana isn't so new. She has been around for about five years. She was once engaged to Brantley Gilbert...his drinking did that in. She also was the cat burglar in the insurance commercials a few years back. VERY talented young lady!
