This song is about feeling empty inside and trying to fill that void with anything. The protagonist of the song chooses whiskey, but in no way is this song advocating the consumption of whiskey.
Lyrics
I've been roaming the streets all night kicking cans by the broken street light I've grown so tired But I don't want to go home Got a burning in my throat and shouldn't be alone Make my way down to the strip pay her a visit gonna give her a tip I'll bring my bottle and together we'll sip that five dollar taste upon her lip I need something to fill me up I need something to fill my cup five dollar whiskey is good enough My daddy was an honest man He filled his family by the work of his hand I left home to take a stand on my own Drinking that whiskey till the dogs come home I need something to fill me up I need something to fill my cup five dollar whiskey is good enough Everybody's an empty bottle I've lived so hard I got cracks at the bottom What ever I take passes straight through me Don't give me nothing won't do any good I need something to fill me up I need something to fill my cup five dollar whiskey is good enough
