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