I swore I'd drown your memory

In the devil's amber brew

And wash away the living hell

I'm daily going through

I'd drink till I become a fool

And think you're not around

But memories swim in whiskey

They don't ever drown

Memories swim in whiskey

To punish those who think

That they can make them disappear

With one more round of drinks

You're always there just underneath

Each swallow you put down

Memories swim in whiskey

They don't ever drown

You'd think by now I've paid enough

To keep you in the past

But here you are as big as life

Warming up my glass

I hold my drink in my hand

Watch you whirl around

Cause memories swim in whiskey

They don't ever drown

Memories swim in whiskey

To punish those who think

That they can make them disappear

With one more round of drinks

You're always there just underneath

Each swallow you put down

Memories swim in whiskey

They don't ever drown

Memories swim in whiskey

They don't ever drown
