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 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 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 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 One's the devil, one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder, oh 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 Ah, that's the difference between whiskey and you
