I stood there in the middle of the church of the broken people Listenin' to the walkin' wounded tell their stories My turn came, I told 'em my name I said, "This ain't my first time." Then a man started talkin' how the devil and the bottle Was ruinin' my life And with last night on my breath I stood up and said Chorus: It ain't the whiskey It ain't the cigarettes It ain't the stuff I smoke It's all these things I can't forget And it ain't the hard times It ain't the all nights It ain't that easy It ain't the whiskey that's k**ing me So, what do you got for this empty spot inside of me That deep-dark hole where love used to be Before she ripped it out and ran into the arms of someone else Y'all sit in this room and talk like you got some kind of remedy Well, I hear what you're telling me But I've got all the proof I need Chorus: It ain't the whiskey It ain't the cigarettes It ain't the stuff I smoke It's all these things I can't forget And it ain't the hard times It ain't the all nights It ain't that easy It ain't the whiskey that's k**ing me I've done everything to drown this hurt inside But I can't wash you off of my mind Chorus: It ain't the whiskey It ain't the cigarettes It ain't the stuff I smoke It's all these things I can't forget And it ain't the hard times It ain't the all nights It ain't that easy It ain't the whiskey that's k**ing me It ain't the whiskey that's k**ing me [Thanks to Jennifer for lyrics]
