Lyrics of 'Lovin' Whiskey' by Rory Block

Well, if you live in dusty twilight, baby, that's OK
'Cause there are women at the bar to greet you every day

And you can take them back to lie with you in this ingenious room
But they can never take the pain away, a brighten all the gloom
And if your hands are clanced with sorrow, may it help you ease your pain
Though the windows have a view of silly rain, silly rain

Well, if you walk in constant sorrow and you cry for me
And if you're hit with pain for memories maybe then you'll see

Then if you drown yourself in liquor because it keeps you company
Then just remember who you're loosing and be proud to set me free
Because it don't talk back or disagree, it just makes you see so hazily
But in the morning light your life is scattered with the wind, scattered with the wind

Well, they tell you on the telephone to let him go
I said they tell you he's a sinking ship
And he's trying to pull you down, don't you know?

But every time you call me up, say you want me back, you know you break my heart
You want me to come back home and try again, you want me to make a brand new start
But if wisdom says to let him go then it's hell because you just don't know
Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin' whiskey

My baby left me for a bottle and the lure of the night life
Good times and crazy women and another glass of tangerine
And if wisdom says to let him go, oh, then it's hell because you just don't know
Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin' whiskey
