Vern Gosdin - Bourbon And Tears lyrics

rate me

Starin’ at a bottle of 80 proof main whiskey

I know what’s gonna happen all too well

As the bottle touches my lips

I watch the last swallow rolled out

And hear the devil laughin’ from the pits of hell

Bourbon and tears

Takin’ control of me again

Washin’ away the years

With an unforgivin’ fit of sin

There’s no answer in this bottle

Girl your memory’s just too clear

So tonight I’ll drink it down

And do my darn’ess not to drown

In my bourbon and tears

Lookin’ for the answer in the bottom of the bottle

But I realize my search is all in vain

As the tears start to roll out

My blood shot eyes can’t see clearly

Eventhough my body’s numb I feel the pain

Of bourbon and tears

Takin’ control of me again

Washin’ away the years

With an unforgivin’ fit of sin

There’s no answer in this bottle

Girl your memory’s just too clear

So tonight I’ll drink it down

And do my damn’ess not to drown

In my bourbon and tears

So tonight I’ll drink it down

And do my damn’ess not to drown

In my bourbon and tears
