Whiskey and You

There’s a bottle on the dresser by your ring

And it’s empty so right now I don’t feel a thing

And I’ll be hurting when I wake up on the floor

But I’ll be over it by noon

That’s the difference between whiskey and you

Come tomorrow, I can walk in any store

It ain’t a problem, they’ll always sell me more

But your forgiveness

Well, that’s something I can’t buy

There ain’t a thing that I can do

That’s the difference between whiskey and you

One’s the devil, one keeps driving me insane

At times I wonder if they ain’t both the same

But one’s a liar that helps to hide me from my pain

And one’s the long gone bitter truth

That’s the difference between whiskey and you

I’ve got a problem but it ain’t like what you think

I drink because I’m lonesome and I’m lonesome ‘cause I drink

But if I don’t break down and bring it on myself

It’ll hit out of the blue

That’s the difference between whiskey and you

One’s the devil, one keeps driving me insane

At times I wonder if they ain’t both the same

But one’s a liar that helps to hide me from my pain

And one’s the long gone bitter truth

That’s the difference between whiskey and you

Ah, that’s the difference between whiskey and you
