Whiskey Will Never Drown My Sorrow

Looks like I'm here again.
It's a place I'm often in.
No where I really want to be.
Sittin' here with the blues.
Lookin' down at my shoes.
Wonderin' why she left me.

Whiskey will never drown my sorrow.
I don't think I could drink enough.
How the hell can I face tomorrow?
When living through today was so damned tough.

It's happened a time or twelve.
Everytime it hurts like hell.
One day you would think that I'd learn.
I always take her back.
I'm stupid like I'm high on crack.
Why do I keep getting' burned?

Whiskey will never drown my sorrow.
I don't think I could drink enough.
How the hell can I face tomorrow?
When living through today was so damned tough.

It's not like I can't do without.
She's turn my world inside out.
Why the hell do I hang around?
If I had half a brain,
I'd buy a ticket for a plane.
I'd get my ass out of town.

Whiskey will never drown my sorrow.
I don't think I could drink enough.
How the hell can I face tomorrow?
When living through today was so damned tough.

Whiskey loves me even if you don't.
Yes mate, it can never drown sorrow. Keep it under control and take care.
