Can't Take Keith Whitley Tonight

I'd rather listen to a stranger talk

About the things that he's done wrong that brought him here

I'd rather shoot another game of pool

Shoot tequila and act a fool

Then cry in my beer

What I need is a fast song

I'm not over you he got that part wrong

What I see when I don't close my eyes

Is I can't take Keith Whitley tonight

I'd rather twirl around this floor

And then twirl a little more with someone new

And please don't blame me

My name's not Amie

I'm just a lonely fool

What I need is a fast song

I'm not over you he got that part wrong

What I see when I don't close my eyes

Is I can't take Keith Whitley tonight

I need my tab

And I mean now

Before he sings the next verse

And I start cryin' out loud

Cuz what I need is a fast song

I'm not over you he got that part wrong

What I see when I don't close my eyes

Is I can't take Keith Whitley tonight

These tears are really puttin' up a fight

But I can't take Keith Whitley tonight

Not tonight
