The heart can't hear or say

The cold hard truth

Until it's too late

They sell bourbon every day

'Cause of girls like you

Some call it fate

And now, here I am

Love's gone up in flames

And you're burnin' down that rope

I'm left here half-drunk, half-crazy

And all I really know

Is you once told me

That you loved me

And you'd never bring me pain

But, girl, you're gone

Like a whiskey down the drain

Where'd that woman go,

That said she's never leave?

Yeah, those were all lies

She promised me forever

And made me believe

There'd be no goodbye

And now, here I am

Love's gone up in flames

And you're burnin' down that rope

I'm left here half-drunk, half-crazy

And all I really know

Is you once told me

That you loved me

And you'd never bring me pain

But, girl, you're gone

Like a whiskey down the drain

And now I'm drinkin' alone

Wastin' whiskey just tryin' to hold on

'Cause you once told me

That you loved me

And you'd never bring me pain

But, girl, you're gone

Like a whiskey down the drain

Whiskey down the drain

Whiskey down the drain
