There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring And it's empty so right now I don't feel a thing And I'll be hurtin' when I wake up on the floor But I'll be over it by noon And that's the difference between whiskey and you Come tomorrow I can walk in any store It ain't a problem they'll always sell me more But you're forgiveness is something that's I can't buy Ain't a thing that I can do And that's the difference between whiskey and you [Chorus] One's the devil and one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder if they ain't both the same But one's a liar that helps her hide me from my pain One's a long long bitter truth
And that's the difference between whiskey and you I've got a problem but it ain't like what you think I drink because I'm lonesome and I'm lonesome ‘cause I drink But if I don't break down and bring it on myself it'll hit out of the blue And that's the difference between whiskey and you [Chorus] One's the devil and one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder if they ain't both the same But one's a liar that helps her hide me from my pain One's a long long bitter truth And that's the difference between whiskey and you Oh the difference between whiskey and you
