Jimmy Webb - It Won't Bring Her Back Lyrics

What ya’ doin’ sittin’ here With closin’ time so near
Looks like you need a friend So I will volunteer
Looks like you’re in a world of trouble Only one thing it could be
Ya’ gotta get a grip on it mister This is not the remedy and

It won’t bring her back And it won’t stop the pain
And it won’t make you feel any better soon
Keep drinkin’ that old Jack You’re gonna end up under a train
You can lay down on the railroad track
But it won’t bring your baby back It won’ t bring her back

You know it’s no disgrace To try and save some face
I did that very thing When I was in your place
I’m speakin’ from experience I knew the lady first
It’s hard work forgettin’ baby You can work up quite a thirst but
Drinkin’ is the worst

It won’t bring her back To go out rasin’ Cain
And you won’t find the answer in a cigarette
You can smoke the whole damn pack Create a never ending chain
You can buy yourself a heart attack but it won’t bring your baby back
It won’t bring her back

It won’t bring her back To drive yourself insane
She’s already busy with some other fool
Why don’t you cut yourself some slack Cause the truth is all in vain
You can carry on like a maniac But it won’t bring your baby back
It won’t bring your baby back It won’t bring your baby back
