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

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 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
