Whiskey Lyrics

Momma cried when you left me, Know she's always loved you so, She said hey fool what the hell did you do I said now mom I swear to God I just don't know, Picture book sittin on the table, Memories were stacked up through the years, But tonight their ain't no pictures on them pages,Cuz your kinda gone And you're never coming back home again 

CHORUS

And tonight all the dancehalls are empty 

No lovers on the floor 

So I'll sit here with my whiskey 

Drink it till I just can't drink no more

And I don't know why you had to leave me, All I really know is that you are gone, long gone, And everywhere I go I just feel lonely, You're the only life I've ever known, And I guess you heard the highway calling, Because you packed up your things and headed for the coast, I had to fight the urge to follow, I guess some time away from me is all you've ever really needed most

CHORUS

And tonight you know this whole damn town is empty

And I don't think I can take it anymore

So I'll sit here with my whiskey 

Drink it till I just can't drink no more

A Late night phone call from the East Coast, Said she had enough, She's coming on back home, Guess she went out and got crazy for awhile, If she leaves right now, Maybe she'll make Memphis by the dawn 

CHORUS

And tonight you know this whole damn house is empty

Tomorrow will be like it was before

So I'll put away my whiskey

Guess I just don't need it anymore 

Yeah I'll put away my whiskey 

Guess I just don't need it anymore
