You'd think after fourty, long days and nights
I'd finally get used to the rain
But until the storm passes out of my mind
The only thing I know to take for the pain is

Small, small doses, a sip at a time
A little whiskey and water I'll sit here all night
Some live with heartaches but I'm killing mine
With small, small doses, a sip at a time

My doctor said: "Son, aint a thing I can do
To help you get on with your life"
So 'til I find a way to forget about you
Me and your memory will have a big time

Well, small, small doses, a sip at a time
A little whiskey and water I'll sit here all night
Some live with heartaches but I'm killing mine
With small, small doses, a sip at a time

With small, small doses, a sip at a time
A little Jim Beam and water I'll sit here all night
Some live with heartaches but I'm killing mine
With small, small doses, a sip at a time

With small, small doses, a sip at a time
