He drove off in his pickup truck

To meet his buddies for a few more beers

I said baby I'll come pick you up

He never called so I waited here

Til all my worst fears came true

And I heard the knock at the door

Telling me he ain't coming back no more

Blue lights flashed and I fell to the floor And I lost a good man

To a bad habit

He didn't love the whiskey

He just had to have it

If you could put a price tag

On everything that haunts me

Than you'd know

What that drink cost me Use to be I'd pour it out

Every drop down the kitchen sink

So many nights I'd scream and shout

Even tried to hide his keys

Oh I tried everything

To keep him from going down that road

In my heart just let him go

But you can't stop a hellbent soul And I lost a good man

To a bad habit

He didn't love the whiskey

He just had to have it

If you could put a price tag

On everything that haunts me

Then you'd know

What that drink cost me I cried a tear for every drop

That turned a hero into a coward

And I'd give anything

For just one happy hour Cause I lost a good man

To a bad habit

He didn't love the whiskey

He just had to have it

If you could put price tag

On everything that haunts me

Then you'd know

What that drink cost me

Yes you'd know

What that drink cost me He drove off in his pickup truck

To meet his buddies for a few more beers
