[Verse 1] 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 hurting when I wake up on the floor But I'll be over it by noon 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 your forgiveness Well, that's something I can't buy There ain't a thing that I can do That's the difference between whiskey and you [Chorus] One's the devil, one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder if they ain't both the same But one's a liar that helps to hide me from my pain And one's the long gone bitter truth That's the difference between whiskey and you [Verse 2] 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 That's the difference between whiskey and you [Chorus] One's the devil, one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder if they ain't both the same But one's a liar that helps to hide me from my pain And one's the long gone bitter truth That's the difference between whiskey and you [Outro] Ah, that's the difference between whiskey and you
