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 a 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

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

Ohhw 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
