Quittin’ Ain’t Workin’
As she packed her bags, said she might come back
If I ever straighten up
Well, I've been sober as a judge now
Every night for a month
But when I saw her wrapped up with some ol' boy
In a truck I can't afford
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
This six-pack just turned into five
And this five-pack won't last long
So, pour me up a tall one, make it really strong, son
Play an old drinkin' song
Well, I'm tired of tryin', so here I am tyin'
One on 'til they lock the door
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
Well, I didn't pop a top or touch a single drop
I went to church every week
I clеaned up the house, clеaned up my act
Thinkin' she'd come back to me
Now, I reckon I can go back to stumblin' in
And wakin' up on the floor
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
This six-pack just turned into five
And this five-pack won't last long
So, pour me up a tall one, make it really strong, son
Play an old drinkin' song
Well, I'm tired of tryin', so here I am tyin'
One on 'til they lock the door
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
Yeah, pour me up a tall one now, son
Make it real strong
Woo-hoo!
Rree-ha!
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin'
So, I'm sittin' here sippin' instead of sittin' home, hurtin'
This six-pack just turned into five
And this five-pack won't last long
So, pour me up a tall one, make it really strong, son
Play an old drinkin' song
Yeah, I'm tired of tryin', so here I am tyin'
One on 'til they lock the door
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
Yeah, I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
If I ever straighten up
Well, I've been sober as a judge now
Every night for a month
But when I saw her wrapped up with some ol' boy
In a truck I can't afford
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
This six-pack just turned into five
And this five-pack won't last long
So, pour me up a tall one, make it really strong, son
Play an old drinkin' song
Well, I'm tired of tryin', so here I am tyin'
One on 'til they lock the door
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more

Yeah, I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
