I Can't Quit Drinking
They could quit makin' whiskey
They could stop stompin' grapes
If it wasn't for fools like me with hearts that break
They could close all the breweries
And they could lock up the bars
If it wasn't for women like you who leaves loving scars
And I can't quit drinkin'
Lord knows I've tried
I'm gonna wear this whiskey glass stare
'Til my memories go blind
Now, I can't quit drinkin'
And it'll kill me they say
And if Heaven's sweet shores has swingin' doors
I'll find it someday
You know I thought it all over
And I still don't understand
With millions of women
How could one mean so much to a man?
A woman and whiskey, they're so much alike
'Cause just when you need 'em the most
You're left high and dry
And I can't quit drinkin'
Lord knows I've tried
So, I'm gonna wear this whiskey glass stare
'Til my memories go blind
'Cause I can't quit drinkin'
And it'll kill me they say
And if Heaven's sweet shores has swingin' doors
I'll find it someday
Yes, if Heaven's sweet shores has swingin' doors
I'll find it someday
They could stop stompin' grapes
If it wasn't for fools like me with hearts that break
They could close all the breweries
And they could lock up the bars
If it wasn't for women like you who leaves loving scars
And I can't quit drinkin'
Lord knows I've tried
I'm gonna wear this whiskey glass stare
'Til my memories go blind
Now, I can't quit drinkin'
And it'll kill me they say
And if Heaven's sweet shores has swingin' doors
I'll find it someday
You know I thought it all over
And I still don't understand
With millions of women
How could one mean so much to a man?
A woman and whiskey, they're so much alike
'Cause just when you need 'em the most
You're left high and dry
And I can't quit drinkin'
Lord knows I've tried
So, I'm gonna wear this whiskey glass stare
'Til my memories go blind
'Cause I can't quit drinkin'
And it'll kill me they say
And if Heaven's sweet shores has swingin' doors
I'll find it someday
Yes, if Heaven's sweet shores has swingin' doors
I'll find it someday
