Hard Whiskey

(album: Promises - 2012)

A goodbye letter in my old hand
Is telling me she's had enough, and she ain't coming back
Picture on the wall, staring back at me
It's burning'a hole right through my soul, yeah it brings me to my knees
I'm headed out the door to do all the wrong things right
'Cause there's only one thing that'll get me through this night

All I need is hard whiskey, a soft place to fall
A jukebox full of George Jones songs, hey I won't miss her at all
All I need is hard whiskey, just a little time
Maybe one more drink and I'll be doing fine
Yeah I will

Well I always said her leaving would never get to me
So I turned to your whiskey to drown her memory
Brown poison in a black label bottle, she burns going down
But it's better than the pain I feel, wishing she was still around
Well maybe someday I'll find a better way
And she'll come back to me, but it won't be today

All I need is hard whiskey, a soft place to fall
A jukebox full of George Jones songs, hey I won't miss her at all
All I need is hard whiskey, just a little time
Maybe one more drink and I'll be doing fine

Oh yeah, I'll be doing fine
Whoa, I'll be doing fine
Yeah I'll be doing fine
