Then It's Gone

I need that whiskey on my lips

So I never forget

The way that you kept stringing me along

So give me one more round

It might burn when it goes down

But it hurts, it hurts

And then it's gone

Last night I spent the evening

Hopeful, stoned, and freezing

Chasing you around this beat up town

You left me high and dry

And the tears froze to my eyelids

I'm praying that this bottle helps me now

It sure ain't gonna fix me

And I can't take it with me

But this whiskey's still

The only friend I've got

And when it hits my lips

I know what forgiveness is

It hurts, it hurts

And then it's gone

I need that whiskey on my lips

So I never forget

The way that you kept stringing me along

So give me one more round

It might burn when it goes down

But it hurts, it hurts

And then it's gone

Alright, let's bring that down a little bit

I'll be here if you need me

Broken heart still beating

Bellied up at this Honky-Tonk saloon

Bartender make me something

So I won't remember nothing

Except the words

To this old country tune

I need that whiskey on my lips

So I never forget

The way that you kept stringing me along

So give me one more round

It might burn when it goes down

But it hurts, it hurts

And then it's gone

It hurts, it hurts

And then it's gone
