Loving Whiskey

Well if you live in dusty twilight baby, that's OK,

'Cause there are women at the bar to greet you everyday.

And you can take them back to lie with you and visit Jamie'sroom,

But they can never take the pain away or brighten all thegloom,

And if your hands are clenched in sorrow, may it help you easeyour pain,

Though the windows have a view of city rain, city rain...

And if you walk in constant sorrow and you cry for me,

May it hit the painful memories, maybe then you'll see,

That if you drown yourself in liquor, because it keeps youcompany,

Then just remember who you're loosing, and be proud to set mefree,

Because it don't talk back or disagree, it just make you see sohazily,

But in the morning light your life is scattered with the wind,scattered with the wind...

Well they tell you on the telephone to let him go,

I said they tell you he's a sinking ship, and he's trying to pullyou down,

Don' t you know, that every time you call me up and say you wantme back you know you break my heart,

You said you want me to come back home and try again, you want meto make a brand new start,

But if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because youjust don't know,

Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin'whiskey...

My baby left me for the bottle and the lure of the nightlife,

Good times and crazy women and another glass of Tangueray,

But if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because youjust don't know,

Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin'whiskey
