Bourbon And Tears

Staring at a bottle of 80 proof main whiskey
I know what’s gonna happen all too well
As the bottle touches my lips
I watch the last swallow roll out
And hear the devil laughing from the pits of hell
Bourbon and tears
Taking control of me again
Washing away the years
With an unforgiving fit of sin
There’s no answer in this bottle
Girl your memory’s just too cle-ar
So tonight I’ll drink it down
And do my damndest not to drown
In my bourbon and tears
Looking for the answer in the bottom of the bottle
But I realize my search is all in vain
As the tears start to roll out
My blood shot eyes can’t see clearly
Even though my body’s numb I feel the pain
So tonight I’ll drink it down
And do my damndest not to drown
In my bourbon and t-ears
