Lyrics
I'm tired of the gin I drink to get me into bed
Tired of the morning beer I need to clear my head.
I'm so tired of feeling this is more than I can take
If I close my eyes I'll dream of you - so I'd rather stay awake.
Your love was like a poison, but I couldn't get enough
And I died a little with every swallow of that wicked stuff
You left and took the pieces of my heart you didn't kill
And left a hole all the bourbon in Kentucky couldn't fill.
C1 Now my jobs not worth the money
And my friends ain't worth my time.
Songs just ain't worth singin'
And my tears aren't worth the cry.
Nothing in this world is gonna make this damn mess right
So I don't think I'm even gonna try
LEAD (VERSE X 1)
So I keep tryin' to drown you out in a river made of booze.
I keep fighting your memory in a game I know I'll lose.
Trade one poison for the next and soak my weary mind
Until I kill the piece of me where your memory - still hides.
REPEAT CHORUS X 2
