I got a box-set of Hag, a 3-finger gla**
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 that 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
