Stronger Than the Whiskey
There he goes again
Lost in the drink
The bottle's half empty
As he tries not to sink
There he goes again
He lost control again
The drink takes him down
Despair in his eyes
As he tries not to drown
There he goes again
She says
"Don't give in now
We still need you
I still need you around
He says
"I don't know how
But I still need you
To save me somehow"
There he goes again
Worse for the wear
Empty glass, empty stare
And he tried to outrun his history
And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life
They tried
In the end, it ain't a mystery
He said
"Show me the way, don't give up on me today"
See, I tried
If anybody's listening"
But they're broken down now
As he lies in the ground
They tried
They just weren't stronger than the whiskey
There he goes again
Slave to the drink
The bottle's now empty
As he tries not to think
There he goes again
She says
"Don't give in now
We still need you
I still need you around"
He says
"I don't know how
But I still need you
To save me somehow"
There he goes again
Worse for the wear
Empty glass, empty stare
And he tried to outrun his history
And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life
They tried
In the end, it ain't a mystery
He said
"Show me the way, don't give up on me today
See, I tried
If anybody's listening"
But they're broken down now
As he lies in the ground
He tried
He wasn't stronger than the whiskey
He wasn't stronger than the whiskey
Lost in the drink
The bottle's half empty
As he tries not to sink
There he goes again
He lost control again
The drink takes him down
Despair in his eyes
As he tries not to drown
There he goes again
She says
"Don't give in now
We still need you
I still need you around
He says
"I don't know how
But I still need you
To save me somehow"
There he goes again
Worse for the wear
Empty glass, empty stare
And he tried to outrun his history
And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life
They tried
In the end, it ain't a mystery
He said
"Show me the way, don't give up on me today"
See, I tried
If anybody's listening"
But they're broken down now
As he lies in the ground
They tried
They just weren't stronger than the whiskey
There he goes again
Slave to the drink
The bottle's now empty
As he tries not to think
There he goes again
She says
"Don't give in now

He says

Empty glass, empty stare
And he tried to outrun his history
And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life
They tried
In the end, it ain't a mystery
He said
"Show me the way, don't give up on me today
See, I tried
If anybody's listening"
But they're broken down now
As he lies in the ground
He tried
He wasn't stronger than the whiskey
He wasn't stronger than the whiskey
