Lovin' Whiskey

Well, if you live in dusty twilight, baby, that's OK 'Cause there are women at the bar to greet you every day And you can take them back to lie with you in this ingenious room But they can never take the pain away, or brighten all the gloom And if your hands are clenched with sorrow, may it help you ease your pain And though the windows have a view of city rain, city rain Well, if you walk in constant sorrow and you cry for me And if you're hit with painful memories, maybe then you'll see That if you drown yourself in liquor, because it keeps you company Then just remember who you're loosing and be proud to set me free Because it don't talk back or disagree, it just makes you see so hazily But in the morning light your life is scattered with the wind, scattered with the wind Well, they tell you on the telephone to let him go I said they tell you he's a sinking ship And he's trying to pull you down, don't you know? But every time you call me up, say you want me back, you know you break my heart You want me to come back home and try again, you want me to make a brand new start But if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because you just don't know Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin' whiskey My baby left me for the bottle and the lure of the nightlife Good times and crazy women and another glass of Tangueray And if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because you just don't know Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin' whiskey
