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
