Lovin' Whiskey

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

'Cause there are women at the bar to greet you every day

And you can take them back to lie with you in this ingenious room

But they can never take the pain away, a brighten all the gloom

And if your hands are clanced with sorrow, may it help you ease your pain

Though the windows have a view of silly rain, silly rain

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

And if you're hit with pain for memories maybe then you'll see

Then if you drown yourself in liquor because it keeps you company

Then just remember who you're loosing and be proud to set me free

Because it don't talk back or disagree, it just makes you see so hazily

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 pull you down, don't you know?

But every time you call me up, say you want me back, you know you break my heart

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

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

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

My baby left me for a bottle and the lure of the night life

Good times and crazy women and another glass of tangerine

And if wisdom says to let him go, oh, then it's hell because you just don't know

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