 WOMEN WITHOUT WHISKEY (Cooley / DBT)

 If I make it through this year, I think I'm gonna put this bottle down
 Maybe as time goes on I'll learn to miss it less than I do now
 Think I'm gonna tell her that I'm gonna go away for a while
 Till I can get this demon out

 You know the bottle ain't to blame and I ain't trying to
 It don't make you do a thing it just lets you
 When I'm six feet underground, I'll need a drink or two
 And I'll sure miss you

 Take me piece by piece till there ain't nothing left worth taking away
 from me

 The highway's humming in my head and it's hard to hear
 Won't you read my lips if I pull you near enough
 Could you read my fortune in the bottem of this coffee cup
 Tell me how to tell when I've had enough

 If morning's a bitch with open arms and night's a girl who's gone to far
 Whiskey is harder to keep than a woman and it's half as sweet but
 Women without whiskey, Women without whiskey
 Whiskey is hard to beat
 Whiskey is hard to beat
