Gary Allan - It Ain’t The Whiskey lyrics

rate me

I stood there in the middle of the church of the broken people.

Listened to the walking wounded tell their stories.

My turn came I told ‘em my name, I said this ain’t my first time

Then a man started talking how the devil and the bottle was ruining my life.

With last night on my breath, I stood up and said..

Chorus:

It ain’t the whiskey

It ain’t the cigarettes

It ain’t the stuff I smoke

It’s all these things I can’t forget.

It ain’t the hard times

It ain’t the all nights

No it ain’t that easy

It ain’t the whiskey that’s killin’ me.

So what do you got for this empty spot inside of me?

The deep dark hole where love used to be

Before she ripped it out and ran into the arms of someone else.

Y’all sit in this room and you talk like you got some kind of remedy

Well I hear what you’re telling me,

But I’ve got all the proof I need

Chorus:

It ain’t the whiskey

It ain’t the cigarettes

It ain’t the stuff I smoke

It’s all these things I can’t forget

It ain’t the hard times

It ain’t the all nights

It ain’t that easy

It ain’t the whiskey that’s killin’ me.

I’ve done everything to drown this hurt inside

But I can’t wash you off of my mind.

Chorus:

It ain’t the whiskey

It ain’t the cigarettes

It ain’t the stuff I smoke

It’s all these things I can’t forget.

It ain’t the hard times

It ain’t the all nights

No it ain’t that easy

‘Cause it ain’t the whiskey that’s killin’ me.

It ain’t the whiskey.
