I Can¡¯t Quit Drinkin¡¯ (Johnny Paycheck)
|
|
They can quit makin¡¯ whiskey
|
They can stop stompin¡¯ grapes
|
If it wasn¡¯t for fools like me
|
With hearts that break
|
|
They can close all the breweries
|
And they can 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
|
|
W¡¯ll I can¡¯t quit drinkin¡¯
|
And it will kill me they say
|
And if heaven sweet shores have swingin¡¯ doors
|
I¡¯ll find ¡®em someday
|
|
You know I thought it all over
|
And I still don¡¯t understand
|
With millions of women
|
How can 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 sweet shores have swingin¡¯ doors
|
I¡¯ll find ¡®em someday
|
|
Yes if heaven sweet shores have swingin¡¯ doors
|
I¡¯ll find ¡®em someday
|
