Quittin' Ain't Workin'

(album: Stack Of Records - 2021)

Well she packed her bags
Said she might come back
If I ever straighten up
I've been sober as a judge
Now every night for a month
But when I saw her wrapped up with some ole boy
In a truck I can't afford
I've been working on quitting
But the quitting ain't working no more

This 6 pack just turned into 5
And this 5 pack won't last long
So, pour me up a tall one
Make it really strong son
Play an old drinking song
Well I'm tired of trying
So here I am tying one on
Til they lock the door
I've been working on quitting
But the quitting ain't working no more

Well I didn't pop a top
Or touch a single drop
I went to church every week
I cleaned up the house
Cleaned up my act
Thinking she'd come back to me
Now I reckon I can go back to stumbling in
And waking up on the floor
I've been working on quitting
But the quitting ain't working no more

This 6 pack just turned into 5
And this 5 pack won't last long
So, pour me up a tall one
Make it really strong son
Play an old drinking song
Well I'm tired of trying
So here I am tying one on
Til they lock the door
I've been working on quitting
But the quitting ain't working no more

I've been working on quitting
But the quitting ain't working
So I'm sitting here sipping
Instead of sitting home hurting

This 6 pack just turned into 5
And this 5 pack won't last long
So, pour me up a tall one
Make it really strong son
Play an old drinking song
Yeah, I'm tired of trying
So here I am tying one on
Til they lock the door
I've been working on quitting
But the quitting ain't working no more

Yeah, I've been working on quitting
But the quitting ain't working no more
