The whiskey gets me
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
The whiskey gets me
That's why you'll never find me at home
In a dirty old dance hall
Sawdust on the floor
Adrift on drunk island
Never asking for more
It knows just what I'm thinking
I never have to explain
That's just where you'll find by me
Feeling no pain
The whiskey gets me
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
The whiskey gets me
That's why you'll never find me at home
Sentimental old bar stool
Cradles me just right
Helps me out when I'm feeling low
Or when I'm getting too high
It can cause me some trouble
That I won't deny
So I'll order this double
With a tear in my eye
The whiskey gets me
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
The whiskey gets me
That's why you'll never find me at home
All the time that I'm sitting here
I'm thinking of you dear
I'm drowning the truth
And the proof clear
That's why I do my drinking alone
