On the counter sits an empty bottle of whiskey Sure tried to drown myself last night And a cigarette still burns on the nightstand by my bed I sure tried to smoke you out of my head But I guess I'm the one who played the fool And not the other way around And I was home holdin' on, you were out tryin' to paint the town So I keep losin' you in this black and white label Oh, the man from Tennessee sure does me fine But when I'm knockin' back number seven it makes me able To have the strength to get you off my mind ♪ On the counter sits a picture of me and you But the past sure hits me hard tonight And the whiskey that I'm drinkin' Well, it sure don't taste like you But somehow it makes me feel alright Well, there's no sense holdin' on But baby I sure can't let go And I'm losin' you one drink at a time, yeah So I keep losin' you in this black and white label Oh, the man from Tennessee sure does me fine But when I'm knockin' back number seven it makes me able To have the strength to get you off my mind ♪ I know there's no place I can go I know there's nothin' I can do So baby I'll just keep on drinkin' To forget about you I keep losin' you in this black and white label Oh, the man from Tennessee sure does me fine When I'm knockin' back number seven it makes me able To have the strength to get you off my mind Get you off my mind
