HE SITS ALL ALONE
IN HIS EASY CHAIR
STARING BACK AT HIS
LOST YESTERDAYS
LONG BEFORE HE
ENCOUNTERED
THE BOTTLE
AND THE DEMONS THAT
DROVE HER AWAY
IN HIS HAND HE IS
HOLDING HER
PHOTOGRAPH
HER IMAGE ALL
TEARSTAINED
AND WORN
TONIGHT HE'S
EMBRACING REALITY
AND HE CURSES THE
DAY HE WAS BORN
AND THE DARKNESS
STILL ECHOES
HER WARNING
YOU CAN'T HAVE
TWO LOVES
IN YOUR LIFE
NOW THE THINGS THAT
WILL HAUNT HIM
TILL THE DAY
THAT HE DIES
IS THE SMELL OF
CHEAP WHISKEY
AND THE SOUND
OF GOODBYE
SINCE THE HOUR
THAT SHE LEFT
HE'S BEEN SOBER
AND EACH BREATH
THAT HE DRAWS
MAKES HIM THINK
'BOUT THE LIGHT OF
HIS LIFE GONE FOREVER
WHEN HE TRADED
HER LOVE FOR A DRINK
AND THE DARKNESS
STILL ECHOES
HER WARNING
YOU CAN'T HAVE TWO
LOVES IN YOUR LIFE
NOW THE THINGS THAT
WILL HAUNT HIM
TILL THE DAY
THAT HE DIES
IS THE SMELL OF
CHEAP WHISKEY
AND THE SOUND
OF GOODBYE
THE SMELL OF
CHEAP WHISKEY
AND THE SOUND
OF GOODBYE
