HE SITS ALL ALONE
IN HIS EASY CHAIR
STARING BACK AT HIS
LOST YESTERDAY
LONG BEFORE
HE ENCOUNTERED
THE BOTTLE
AND THE DEMONS
THAT DROVE HER AWAY
IN HIS HAND
HE IS HOLDING
HER PHOTOGRAPH
HER IMAGE ALL
TEAR STAINED
AND WORN
TONIGHT
HE'S EMBRACING
REALITY
AND HE CURSES THE DAY
HE WAS BORN
AND THE DARKNESS
STILL ECHO'S
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
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
SINCE THE HOUR
THAT SHE LEFT
HE'S BEEN SOBER
AND EACH BREATH
THAT HE DRAWS
MAKES HIM THINK
ABOUT THE LIGHT
OF HIS LIFE
GONE FOREVER
WHEN HE TRADED
HER LOVE FOR A DRINK
AND THE DARKNESS
STILL ECHO'S
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
