There's a bottle, on the dresser by your ring And it's empty, so right now I don't feel a thing But I'll be hurtin', when I wake up on the floor But I'll be over it by noon 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 your forgiveness, well that's something I can't buy There ain't a thing that I can do That's the difference between whiskey and you One's a devil, and one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder, if they ain't both the same And one's a liar, that helps to hide me from my pain And one's a long gone bitter truth 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, an' 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 That's the difference between whiskey and you One's a devil, and one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder, if they ain't both the same And one's a liar, that helps to hide me from my pain And one's a long gone bitter truth That's the difference, between whiskey and you Oh, that's the difference, between whiskey and you
