Lyrics
(VERSE 1)
Well he walked in this evening
He looked like he just been through hell.
With that look on his face, that hooked on a broken heart spell.
As I poured him his drinks, I said "Mr. Let me tell you something"
"We can do this all night, but believe me you'll still be hurting.
(CHORUS)
Cause you can't drink away, the hurt or the pain you feel inside.
You won't feel good tomorow, the high only lasts through the night.
YOU CAN'T DRINK AWAY
(VERSE 2)
Well he finished his drinks said "Thank you I'll be on my way."
He said "He won't be here tomorow." With dought in my voice I said "Ok."
(Chorus)
Cause you can't drink away, the hurt or the pain you feel inside.
With every shot you drink, believe me friend I know I've tried.
YOU CAN'T DRINK AWAY
(VERSE 3)
Well I closed up the bar, went home with a bottle of Jim Beam.
With your picture right beside me, has become my nightly routine.
I try to drown out my sorrow, it's another night of drinking again.
And this bottle of whiskey has become my only friend.
(CHORUS)
Cause I can't drink away, the hurt or the pain I feel inside.
With every fifth I drink, I can't take my own advice.
I CAN'T DRINK AWAY (REPEAT)
