I got a box-set of Hag, a 3-finger glass And a bottle of dark 90 proof To help chase away misery, by drowning her memories But still I can't out-drink the truth 'Cause when I reach the middle of that ol' black label She'll vanish without any trace I hear the answer to problems are found in the bottom Just a few swallows away I'm pourin' whiskey on pain, temporarily insane It's just a matter of time before she's back on my mind 'Cause I know I'm to blame For the trouble I'm in, I'm drinkin' doubles again And it's the same ol' routine, disguisin' sorrow and shame Pourin' whiskey on pain I had a woman who loved me, held no one above me Til I fell for cheap perfume and green eyes She had no forgiveness in my moment of weakness For a stranger in dim neon lights Across the bar in the mirror, the truth is much clearer But I won't face this stare all night long I'll be lost in the liquor and for a while I'll forget her I'll get so right, I can't feel what's wrong I'm pourin' whiskey on pain, temporarily insane It's just a matter of time before she's back on my mind 'Cause I know I'm to blame For the trouble I'm in, I'm drinkin' doubles again And it's the same ol' routine, disguisin' sorrow and shame Pourin' whiskey on pain And it's the same ol' routine, disguisin' sorrow and shame Pourin' whiskey on pain
