There's a bottle, on the dresser by your ring

And it's empty, so right now I don't feel a thing

But I'll be hurtin', when I wake up on the floor

But I'll be over it by noon.

That's the difference between whiskey and you.

Come tomorrow, I can walk in any store

It ain't a problem, they'll always sell me more

But your forgiveness, well that's something I can't buy

There ain't a thing that I can do.

That's the difference between whiskey and you.

One's a devil, and one keeps driving me insane

At times I wonder, if they ain't both the same

And one's a liar, that helps to hide me from my pain

And one's a long gone bitter truth.

That's the difference between whiskey and you.

I've got a problem, but it ain't like what you think

I drink because I'm lonesome, an' I'm lonesome 'cause I drink

But if I don't break down, and bring it on myself

It'll hit out of the blue.

That's the difference between whiskey and you.

One's a devil, and one keeps driving me insane

At times I wonder, if they ain't both the same

And one's a liar, that helps to hide me from my pain

And one's a long gone bitter truth.

That's the difference, between whiskey and you

Oh, that's the difference, between whiskey and you.
