There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring And its empty so right now I don't feel a thing I'll be hurtin' when I wake up on the floor and I'll be over it by noon And that's the difference between the whiskey and you
Come tomorrow, I can walk into a store It ain't a problem, yeah, they'll always sell me more But your forgiveness is something I can't buy, ain't a thing that I can do And that's the difference between the whiskey and you
One's a devil and one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder if they ain't both the same The one's a liar that helps hide me from my pain One's a long, hard, bitter truth And that's the difference between the whiskey and you
I've got a problem but it ain't like what you think I drink 'cause I'm lonesome and I'm lonesome 'cause I drink If I don't break down and bring it on myself, it will hit right out of the blue And that's the difference between the whiskey and you
