It Ain't The Whiskey

1. I stood there in the middle of the church of the broken people
Watchin' to the walking wounded tell their stories
My turn came I told em' my name I said this ain't my first time
And 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, and it ain't the hard times
It ain't the all nights
No it ain't that easy, cause' it ain't the whiskey thats killin' me.

2. 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 ya' got some kind of remedy
Well I hear what your telling me, I got all the proof I need.

[Chorus]

* I done all I could to drown this hurt inside
But I can't wash you off of my mind..

[Chorus]
