Love on the rocks that's all he said

As he sat there beside me shaking his head

I said Mister you look like you're taking it rough

The next round's on me he said I don't touch the stuff

Cause these hundred proof mem'ries are stronger than wine

It don't take but one taste to send you out of your mind

No I don't want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride

Cause with hundred proof mem'ries Lord you don't think and drive

[ guitar - steel ]

He said I quit drinkin' the day that she left

I come here out of habit in spite of myself

But there ain't no liquor that money can buy

That's stronger than what's bottled up inside

Cause these hundred proof mem'ries...

No I don't want the whiskey...
