I STOOD THERE IN
THE MIDDLE OF
THE CHURCH OF
THE BROKEN PEOPLE
LISTENED TO THE
WALKIN' WOUNDED
TELL THEIR STORIES
MY TURN CAME
I TOLD 'EM
MY NAME
I SAID THIS AIN'T
MY FIRST TIME
THEN A MAN
STARTED TALKIN'
HOW THE DEVIL
AND THE BOTTLE
WAS RUININ'
MY LIFE
WITH LAST NIGHT
ON MY BREATH
I STOOD UP
AND SAID
IT AIN'T
THE WHISKEY
IT AIN'T THE
CIGARETTES
IT AIN'T THE
STUFF I SMOKE
IT'S ALL
THESE THINGS
I CAN'T FORGET
AND IT AIN'T
THE HARD TIMES
IT AIN'T
THE ALL NIGHTS
IT AIN'T THAT EASY
IT AIN'T THE WHISKEY
THAT'S KILLIN' ME
SO WHAT
DO YOU GOT
FOR THIS EMPTY
SPOT INSIDE OF ME
THE DEEP DARK
HOLE WHERE LOVE
USED TO BE
BEFORE SHE RIPPED
IT OUT AND RAN
INTO THE ARMS
OF SOMEONE ELSE
Y'ALL SIT IN THIS
ROOM AND YOU
TALK LIKE YOU
GOT SOME KIND
OF REMEDY
WELL I HEAR WHAT
YOU'RE TELLIN' ME
BUT I'VE GOT ALL
THE PROOF I NEED
IT AIN'T
THE WHISKEY
IT AIN'T THE
CIGARETTES
IT AIN'T THE
STUFF I SMOKE
IT'S ALL
THESE THINGS
I CAN'T FORGET
AND IT AIN'T THE
HARD TIMES
IT AIN'T
THE ALL NIGHTS
IT AIN'T THAT EASY
'CAUSE IT AIN'T
THE WHISKEY
THAT'S KILLIN' ME
4 BAR BREAK
I'VE DONE
EVERYTHING
TO DROWN THIS
HURT INSIDE
BUT I CAN'T WASH
YOU OFF OF MY MIND
IT AIN'T THE WHISKEY
IT AIN'T THE
CIGARETTES
IT AIN'T THE
STUFF I SMOKE
IT'S ALL
THESE THINGS
I CAN'T FORGET
AND IT AIN'T
THE HARD TIMES
IT AIN'T
THE ALL NIGHTS
IT AIN'T THAT EASY
'CAUSE IT AIN'T
THE WHISKEY
THAT'S KILLIN' ME
4 BAR BREAK
IT AIN'T
THE WHISKEY
THAT'S KILLIN' ME
OOH
