By David Allan Coe
I'VE GOT THIS WEAKNESS FOR WOMEN AND WHISKEY
ITS SOMETHING I JUST can't CONTROL
I'VE TRIED HARD TO SHAKE IT WITH OUT ANY LUCK
IT KEEPS BURNING DEEP IN MY SOUL
I THOUGHT YOU COULD CHANGE THINGS AND WHILE YOU WERE WITH ME
I NEVER LOVED NO ONE BUT YOU
BUT it's GONNA TAKE MORE THAT WHISKY AND WOMEN
TO MAKE ME FORGET THAT WERE THROUGH
BABY, SOMETIMES AT NIGHT WHEN I REACH OUT TO TOUCH YOU
I WAKE UP CHILLED TO THE BONE
THERE IS SO MANY THINGS I can't GET USED TO
SPECIALLY BEING ALONE
I BUILT MY WHOLE WORLD AROUND YOU AND NOW THAT YOUR GONE
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
BUT it's GONNA TAKE MORE THAT WHISKY AND WOMEN
TO MAKE ME FORGET THAT WERE THROUGH
I FOUND ME A WOMAN TO LAY DOWN BESIDE ME
SHE OFFERED HER BODY AND SOUL
AND I TOOK THEM HOPING FOR SOME SILLY REASON
SHED HELP ME REGAIN SELF CONTROL
I LEFT LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT WHEN THE FIRST LIGHT OF DAWN
TURNED THE GREY SKIES TO BLUE
I SOBERED UP KNOWING she'd NEVER BE ABLE
TO MAKE ME FORGET THAT WERE THROUGH
