And, in my opinion, Dwight is currently the greatest living pure Country music singer, right after Merle Haggard.

It is a song about immense heartbreak, soaked in alcohol, with a dash of that California swagger that makes for that classic Bakersfield sound. I can listen to this song and actually start to feel the Whiskey buzz that he sings about, and while it is a song about heartbreak and trying to cope, and ultimately failing, Dwight manages to maintain his cool throughout. It's lke we are listening to a broken man, but that broken man has a sly, confident smile the whole time he is telling his story.
