Whiskey Lyrics

(Pat Green)

Momma cried when you left me,
Know she's always loved you so,
She said hey fool what the hell did you do
I said now mom I swear to God I just don't know,
Picture book sittin on the table,
Memories were stacked up through the years,
But tonight their ain't no pictures on them pages,
Cuz your kinda gone
And you're never coming back home again

Chorus
And tonight all the dancehalls are empty
No lovers on the floor
So I'll sit here with my whiskey
Drink it till I just can't drink no more

And I don't know why you had to leave me,
All I really know is that you are gone, long gone,
And everywhere I go I just feel lonely,
You're the only life I've ever known,
And I guess you heard the highway calling,
Because you packed up your things and headed for the coast,
I had to fight the urge to follow,
I guess some time away from me is all you've ever really needed most

Chorus

And tonight you know this whole damn town is empty
And I don't think I can take it anymore
So I'll sit here with my whiskey
Drink it till I just can't drink no more

A Late night phone call from the East Coast,
Said she had enough, She's coming on back home,
Guess she went out and got crazy for awhile,
If she leaves right now,
Maybe she'll make Memphis by the dawn

Chorus

And tonight you know this whole damn house is empty
Tomorrow will be like it was before
So I'll put away my whiskey
Guess I just don't need it anymore
Yeah I'll put away my whiskey
Guess I just don't need it anymore
