I
heard it said that boys in Tennessee make
A solution age to know to numb this pain
When I order up me a double It only leads me down to trouble
And it don't work the way it should on this holiday
I shouldn't drink no more Cause every sip of nightly proof
Gets me closer than I was before To that cold heart's full of truth
I'm layin' on the whiskey for lightin' up a memory
But it don't give a damn what I go through I shouldn't drink no more
Cause
when I do I think of you It's like I'm pouring out a bottle of the
past When I look over and those hazel eyes are
back On that bar stool right beside me
Then they're gone leaving me empty As
the bottom of that lonely highball glass
I shouldn't drink no more Cause every sip of nightly proof
Gets me closer than I was before To that cold heart's full of truth
I'm layin' on the whiskey for lightin' up a memory But it
don't give a damn what I go through I shouldn't drink no more
When I do I think of you I think of you
I think of every reason
I should've stopped you leavin'
Girl,
I'm finally seein'
Well, I shouldn't drink no more
Cause every sip of nightly proof Gets me closer than I was before
To that cold heart's full of truth I'm layin'
on the whiskey for lightin' up a memory
But it don't give a damn what I go through I shouldn't drink no more
Cause
when I do I think of you
I think of you
I think of every reason I should've stopped you leavin'
