There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring And it's empty so right now I don't feel a thing I'll be hurtin' when I wake up on the floor And I'll be over it by noon And that's the difference between the whiskey and you Come tomorrow I can walk in any store It ain't a problem yeah they'll always sell me more But you're forgiveness is something I can't buy Ain't a thing that I can do And that's the difference between the whiskey and you One's the devil and one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder if they ain't both the same One's a liar that helps hide me from my pain And one's a long hard bitter truth And that's the difference between the whiskey and you I've got a problem but it ain't like what you think I drink 'cause I'm lonesome and I'm lonesome 'cause I drink If I don't break down and bring it on myself it'll hit right out of the blue That's the difference between the whiskey and you One's the devil and one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder if they ain't both the same One's a liar that helps hide me from my pain And one's a long hard bitter truth And that's the difference between the whiskey and you Yeah, that's the difference between the whiskey and you
