There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring

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

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

and I'll be over it by noon

And that's the difference between the whiskey and you

Come tomorrow I can walk in any store

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

But you're forgiveness is something I can't buy

Ain't a thing that I can do

And that's the difference between the whiskey and you

{Chorus}

One's the devil and one keeps driving me insane

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

One's a liar that helps hide me from my pain

And one's a long hard bitter truth

And that's the difference between the whiskey and you

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

I drink 'cause I'm lonesome and I'm lonesome 'cause I drink

If I don't break down and bring it on myself it'll hit right out of the blue

that's the difference between the whiskey and you

{Chorus}

Yeah that's the difference between the whiskey and you
