I've never been the kind to just turn and run
Never lost a battle with a loaded gun
Never been confused about who I am
Or what I think it takes for me to be a man
But lately it's been hell just trying to get by
Livin' like I'm livin' on a borrowed dime
Watchin' my friends as they're all having fun
Whiskey, won't you help me make it through this one?

'Cause I don't mind
I'll sit here and keep on grinnin', drown my head and keep on livin'
I don't mind
I guess I'll drink another bottle and drown another sorrow
I don't mind
I can't wait another minute, won't you help me to forget it again?

Well, tonight's been slower than it's ever been
Staring at the clock at closing time again
The bartender tells me it's time to go
I got a bottle of the venom waiting back at home
Come tomorrow I'll probably buy some more
Black Label Even Williams from the liquor store
Back to the bar until my drinking's done
Whiskey, won't you help me make it through this one?

'Cause I don't mind
I'll sit here and keep on grinnin', drown my head and keep on livin'
I don't mind
Guess I'll drink another bottle and drown another sorrow
I don't mind
I can't wait another minute, won't you help me to forget it again?

'Cause I don't mind
I'll sit here and keep on grinnin', drown my head and keep on livin'
I don't mind
Guess I'll drink another bottle and drown another sorrow
I don't mind
I can't wait another minute, won't you help me to forget it again?
