Drowns the Whiskey

All the folks down in Lynchburg, Tennessee

Been working hard for good ol' boys like me

I don't wanna be the one to tell 'em

That stuff that they been selling

Ain't working like it should

But I damn sure wish it would

Whiskey's supposed to drown a memory

I've gone from one to one too many

And the thing that really gets me

Is how your memory drowns the whiskey

Maybe it's the bar or the stool I'm on

Maybe it's the band and this sad ol' song

That keeps me buying rounds

That keeps me turning down

Any girl that wants to dance

And you ain't giving them a chance

Whiskey's supposed to drown a memory

I've gone from one to one too many

And the thing that really gets me

Is how your memory drowns the whiskey

Girl I'm livin' proof

That 80 proof

Ain't got a shot

At touching you

But whiskey's supposed to drown a memory

I've gone from one to one too many

And the thing that really gets me

Is whiskey's supposed to drown a memory

I've gone from one to one too many

And the thing that really gets me

Is how your memory drowns the whiskey

Yeah the thing that really gets me

Is how your memory drowns the whiskey
