There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring

And it's empty so right now I don't feel a thing

But I'll be hurtin' when I wake up on the floor

But I'll be over it by noon

That's the difference between whiskey and you

Come tomorrow I can walk in any store

It ain't a problem they'll always sell me more

But your forgiveness well that's something I can't buy

There ain't a thing that I can do

That's the difference between whiskey and you

One's a devil and one keeps driving me insane

At times I wonder if they ain't both the same

And one's a liar that helps to hide me from my pain

And one's a long gone bitter truth

That's the difference between whiskey and you

I've got a problem but it ain't like what you think

I drink because I'm lonesome an' I'm lonesome 'cause I drink

But if I don't break down and bring it on myself

It'll hit out of the blue

That's the difference between whiskey and you

One's a devil and one keeps driving me insane

At times I wonder if they ain't both the same

And one's a liar that helps to hide me from my pain

And one's a long gone bitter truth

That's the difference between whiskey and you

Oh that's the difference between whiskey and you
