There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring
And it's empty so right now I don't feel a thing
And I'll be hurting when I wake up on the floor
But I'll be over it by noon
And that's the difference between whiskey and you

Come tomorrow I can walk in any store
It ain't a problem they'll always sell me more
But you're forgiveness is something I can't buy
Ain't a thing that I can do
And that's the difference between whiskey and you

One's the devil and one keeps driving me insane
At times I wonder if they ain't both the same
But one's a liar that helps her hide me from my pain
One's a long, long bitter truth
And that's the difference between whiskey and you

I've got a problem but it ain't like what you think
I drink because I'm lonesome and I'm lonesome 'cause I drink
But if I don't break down and bring it on myself it'll hit out of the blue
And that's the difference between whiskey and you

One's the devil and one keeps driving me insane
At times I wonder if they ain't both the same
But one's a liar that helps her hide me from my pain
One's a long, long bitter truth
And that's the difference between whiskey and you

Oh, the difference between whiskey and you
