Lyrics
IT WON'T WEAR OFF
(LATHAM/KNABLE/ALLEN)
I'VE POURED LIQUOR ON MY LIPS
OVER THE TASTE OF YOUR LAST KISS
BUT IT WON'T; NO IT WON'T WEAR OFF
BURNED CANDLES IN MY ROOM
TO HIDE THE SCENT YOUR PERFUME
BUT IT WON'T; NO IT WON'T WEAR OFF
I GAVE TENNESSEE WHISKEY A SHOT
TOOK FEEL-GOOD PILLS AROUND THE CLOCK
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME
BUT YOUR MEMORY'S STILL ON MY MIND
AND IT WON'T WEAR OFF
I'VE RUBBED SOAP AND SHAMPOO
WHERE I HAD YOUR NAME TATTOOED
BUT IT WON'T; NO IT WON'T WEAR OFF
I TURN THE RADIO DOWN
EVERY TIME I HEAR OUR SONG
BUT IT WON'T, IT WON'T WEAR OFF
I GAVE TENNESSEE WHISKEY A SHOT
TOOK FEEL-GOOD PILLS AROUND THE CLOCK
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME
BUT YOUR MEMORY'S STILL ON MY MIND
AND IT WON'T WEAR OFF
I'VE GOT THIS HURT INSIDE OF ME
I PRAY EVERY DAY FOR IT TO LEAVE
