While I'd like a glass of whiskey It will not change my mind So if it's offered for that reason Or if you're just being kind I will go to my own sweet bed tonight I won't try to explain I will go to my own sweet bed tonight It's just too hard to explain So take some comfort in your whiskey It's often been my friend And if it warms a lonely body Well, who's to say it's bad I will go to my own sweet bed tonight I won't try to explain I will go to my own sweet bed tonight It's just too hard to explain If kindness takes a little longer It's worth the extra time Some have lives so long in darkness They don't even recognize the light Understand, there's a child in everyone We should watch what we say 'Cause everyone has their battles and their pain Hidden somewhere away I will go to my own sweet bed tonight I won't try to explain I will go to my own sweet bed tonight It's much too hard to explain And I will go to my own sweet bed tonight I won't try to explain I will go to my own sweet bed tonight It's just too hard to explain I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
