Verse
Had rough nights lately, but I’m done bein’ heart broke
Slipped on my favorite dress — yeah, my love just got revoked
My best friend smiled at me, gave that line we always do
A little “let’s go, girls” moment, like the night was overdue
Pre-Chorus
I'm ready for a comeback, ready to feel free,
Tradin' that old sadness for a party with my team.
Chorus
I’m takin’ shots with my girls, feelin’ lighter tonight
Every beat of this bar’s got me comin’ alive
Got a smile on my lips and a fire in my cheek
Let the past fade out while the good times peak
I take my whiskey straight, that’s how I choose to be
’Cause I'm done chasing things that don’t chase me
Verse
We’re linin’ up the shots, small decisions on the bar
Laughin’ ’cause we’re louder than the band or the guitar
The whole place feels electric, every heartbeat’s keepin’ time
Yeah, I’m drinkin’ to the future and the fact I’m feelin’ fine Pre-Chorus
I’m buzzin’ with a new glow, where I’m supposed to be
Toastin' to the woman that I finally see in me. Chorus
I’m throwin’ back with my girls, feelin’ bolder tonight
Every rhythm in this room’s got my whole heart feelin’ right
Got a strength in my smile and a fire back in my feet
Let the worries fade out while the good times peak
I take my whiskey straight — yeah, that’s my guarantee
’Cause I'm done chasing things that don’t chase me
Bridge
I spent too long believin’ he was somethin’ that I’d need
But he was never worth the hurt or all the nights I couldn’t breathe
Now the truth hits smoother than the whiskey settin’ me free
Turns out the only thing worth chasing… was finally being me
Chorus
I’m takin’ shots with my girls, yeah, I finally feel right
Every step that I’ve been takin’ brought me back into the light
Got a shine in my eyes sayin’ "watch what I can be"
Let the past fade out while the new days peak
I take my whiskey straight — that’s how It's meant to be
’Cause I'm done chasing things that don’t chase me
Outro
Raise one last shot for freedom and the girl I’m proud to be
I'm done chasing things that don’t chase me
