I'VE GOT THIS WEAKNESS FOR WOMEN AND WHISKEY

ITS SOMETHING I JUST can't CONTROL

I'VE TRIED HARD TO SHAKE IT WITH OUT ANY LUCK

IT KEEPS BURNING DEEP IN MY SOUL

I THOUGHT YOU COULD CHANGE THINGS  AND WHILE YOU WERE WITH ME

I NEVER LOVED NO ONE BUT YOU

BUT it's GONNA TAKE MORE THAT WHISKY AND WOMEN

TO MAKE ME FORGET THAT WERE THROUGH



BABY, SOMETIMES AT NIGHT WHEN I REACH OUT TO TOUCH YOU

I WAKE UP CHILLED TO THE BONE

THERE IS SO MANY THINGS I can't GET USED TO

SPECIALLY BEING ALONE

I BUILT MY WHOLE WORLD AROUND YOU AND NOW THAT YOUR GONE

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

BUT it's GONNA TAKE MORE THAT WHISKY AND WOMEN

TO MAKE ME FORGET THAT WERE THROUGH



I FOUND ME A WOMAN TO LAY DOWN BESIDE ME

SHE OFFERED HER BODY AND SOUL

AND I TOOK THEM HOPING FOR SOME SILLY REASON

SHED HELP ME REGAIN SELF CONTROL

I LEFT LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT WHEN THE FIRST LIGHT OF DAWN

TURNED THE GREY SKIES TO BLUE

I SOBERED UP KNOWING she'd NEVER BE ABLE

TO MAKE ME FORGET THAT WERE THROUGH
