A native of Akron, Ohio, Teddy grew up loving the outdoors. He fished, hiked, and played football through college at Kent State. It was during college when his passion turned to music the moment he heard George Strait’s “Troubadour”. That was it, the decision was made. He called his parents, packed his bags and hit the road. Teddy spent time in Vail playing music to support his snowboarding habit before making the final move to Nashville.

Teddy co-wrote his debut track “Lead Me On” with Ryan Beaver, Matt McGinn and Aaron Eshuis and it was produced by Shane McAnally, Matt McGinn, and Ben Fowler.

Good Love and Good Whiskey

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You caught my eye girl, soon as you walked in
You went straight to the dance floor
He went straight to his friends
And if there's one thing that I can't stand
A pretty woman and a bourbon
And neither one in his hands

Well I don't mean to be rude girl

But I've been watching you
And his whiskey waste away
In that corner booth

What kinda fool leaves his top
Shelf sittin' on ice
Watch 90 proof lose it's smooth
Baby that just ain't right
Same kinda guy that brings a girl to a bar
With guys like me around
Who knows good love and good
Whiskey ain't good watered down

If that were my glass, I wouldn't let it sit
If you were my girl, you'd be on my lips
Well I don't mean to be rude girl
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But if he likes his love
Like he likes his drink
Then he don't like it strong

What kinda fool leaves his top
Shelf sittin' on ice
Watch 90 proof lose it's smooth
Baby that just ain't right
Same kinda guy that brings a girl to a bar
With guys like me around
Who knows good love and good
Whiskey ain't good watered down

Well I don't mean to be rude girl
But I've been watching you
And his whiskey waste away
In that corner booth

What kinda fool leaves his top
Shelf sittin' on ice
Watch 90 proof lose it's smooth
Baby that just ain't right
Same kinda guy that brings a girl to a bar
With guys like me around
Who knows good love and good
Whiskey ain't good watered down

Who knows good love and good
Whiskey ain't good watered down

Overall Meaning

In Teddy Robb's song "Good Love and Good Whiskey," the lyrics reflect on a situation where the singer spots a girl who catches his eye as soon as she enters the room. However, instead of paying attention to her, she goes straight to the dance floor, while her partner goes straight to his friends. The singer expresses his frustration with this guy who seems to have no appreciation for the beauty of the girl or the quality of the bourbon, as neither is in his hands.

The singer observes that he has been watching the girl's partner, seeing his whiskey being wasted away in a corner booth while the night progresses. The narration suggests that the guy is not valuing his drink by letting it sit untouched. The idea of wasting top-shelf whiskey on ice, causing it to lose its smoothness, is seen as foolish. The singer implies that this guy is the same kind who brings a girl to a bar where other guys who understand and appreciate good love and good whiskey are present. The suggestion is that such guys, like the singer himself, know that good love and good whiskey are best enjoyed without being watered down.

Overall, the lyrics convey the singer's frustration with seeing a guy who doesn't appreciate the girl or the quality of the drink, contrasting it with his own understanding of what constitutes good love and good whiskey.

Lyrics: Teddy Robb - Good Love and Good Whiskey

[Verse 1]
You caught my eye girl, soon as you walked in
You went straight to the dance floor
He went straight to his friends
And if there's one thing that I can't stand
A pretty woman and a bourbon
And neither one in his hands

Well I don't mean to be rude girl
But I've been watching you
And his whiskey waste away in that corner booth

[Chorus]
What kinda fool leaves his top shelf sittin' on ice
Watch 90 proof lose its smooth, baby that just ain't right
Same kinda guy that brings a girl to a bar
With guys like me around
Who knows good love and good whiskey ain't good watered down

[Verse 2]
If that were my glass, I wouldn't let it sit
If you were my girl, you'd be on my lips
Well I don't mean to be rude girl
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But if he likes his love like he likes his drink
Then he don't like it strong

[Chorus]
What kinda fool leaves his top shelf sittin' on ice
Watch 90 proof lose its smooth, baby that just ain't right
Same kinda guy that brings a girl to a bar
With guys like me around
Who knows good love and good whiskey ain't good watered down

Well I don't mean to be rude girl
But I've been watching you
And his whiskey waste away in that corner booth

[Chorus]
What kinda fool leaves his top shelf sittin' on ice
Watch 90 proof lose its smooth, baby that just ain't right
Same kinda guy that brings a girl to a bar
With guys like me around
Who knows good love and good whiskey ain't good watered down
Who knows good love and good whiskey ain't good watered down
