We stood there in
that empty house
and you were long gone
I had no doubt
when you said
boy it's me or
the alcohol
I said the whiskey
don't cheat
and the beer
don't hurt me
cigarettes don't tell
made up stories
but they damn sure
drown my pain
when you do
I said the whiskey
don't cheat
and the beer
don't hurt me
and they don't ever leave
they gon' be there
in the morning
if they don't ever
walk away
like you used to
Another night
where I see your name
light up my phone
Can't tell
if it's the pain
you left or
if I'm just half stoned
Well tell me
why we gotta go
round and round
when the whiskey
only hurts
while it's going down
You said all I care
about is the sex
and the alcohol
you ain't wrong
We stood there
in that empty house
and you were long gone
I had no doubt
when you said
boy it's me
or the alcohol
I said the whiskey
don't cheat
and the beer
don't hurt me
cigarettes don't tell
made up stories
but they damn sure
drown my pain
when you do
I said the whiskey
don't cheat
and the beer
don't hurt me
and they don't ever leave
they gon' be there
in the morning
if they don't ever
walk away
like you used to
The only thing you left
for me is
a broken dream
A big house on the hill
a couple kids
and a family
Well tell your friends
go ahead and believe
what they wanna
believe yeah
I guess what's
meant to be
is meant to be
We stood there
in that empty house
and you were long gone
I had no doubt
when you said
boy it's me or
the alcohol
I said the whiskey
don't cheat
and the beer
don't hurt me
cigarettes don't tell
made up stories
but they damn sure
drown my pain
when you do
I said the whiskey
don't cheat
and the beer
don't hurt me
and they don't ever leave
they gon' be there
in the morning
if they don't ever
walk away
like you used to
Know the whiskey
don't cheat
and the beer
don't hurt me
cigarettes don't tell
made up stories
but they damn sure
drown my pain
when you do
