[Verse 1]
Inflation keeps inflatin'
Good hearts just keep on breakin'
And that grapevine keeps on stayin'
In my name, in my reputation
News channels keep on fightin'
When I'm fishin', they ain't bitin'
I'm gettin' sick of daytime cryin'
Why give a damn when I can

[Chorus]
Take it with a grain of salt, brush it off
Glass half-full with grain alcohol
Turnin' this hell-of-a-day upside
Down, sweep it 'round to a hell of a night
It's all wrong, but it's alright
And rock-bottom shelf is better on ice
Somethin' made you bitter, baby, I feel ya
Take it with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila

[Verse 2]
The grass over here is greener
When the cover band's playin' heaters
And my rememdy is cheaper
If you're goin' through it, I'll show you how to do it
[Chorus]
Takе it with a grain of salt, brush it off
Glass half-full with grain alcohol
Turnin' this hell-of-a-day upside
Down, sweep it 'round to a hell of a night
It's all wrong, but it's alright
And rock-bottom shеlf is better on ice
Somethin' made you bitter, baby, I feel ya
Take it with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, a shot of tequila

[Bridge]
Why put salt in the wound
And why let it kill my mood when I can

[Chorus]
Take it with a grain of salt, brush it off
Glass half-full with grain alcohol
Turnin' this hell-of-a-day upside
Down, sweep it 'round to a hell of a night
It's all wrong, but it's alright
And rock-bottom shelf is better on ice
Somethin' made you bitter, baby, I feel ya
Take it with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, take it with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila
