George Jones - Relief Is Just A Swallow Away lyrics

Well I was standin' in the tavern a-feelin' blue My foot on the rail, just a-thinkin' 'bout you But I won't be blue all day Because relief - is just a swallow away Well I've been blue before and I will again I'll drown all my worries or I'll teach 'em how to swim And I won't be the one to pay Because relief - is just a swallow away Yes, you thought when you left I wouldn't have any fun I'll admit I worried but I won't be long We're apart because you wouldn't swallow your foolish pride So you hurt me deep inside But you're not the first to hurt me and you won't be the last Can't tell the future, but I've learned from the past As long as there'd a cabaret I know relief - is just a swallow away Well, I looked down the bar and what did I see Your sad-lookin' face a-lookin' back at me Wishin' you could turn time a few hours back Get off of that one-way track Well you want me to come over, but I'll tell you true You're as close to me as I am to you And that may still be too far away Because relief - is just a swallow away I said relief - just a swallow away...
