Let The Whiskey Take The Reins Lyrics

We had a smoke on the water
We laughed for all it was worth
And I called out your name but
You didn't say what you heard

We drove home in silence
The reception was not to be
I had a feelin'
You would be leavin' me

And it's so easy
To be a man in pain
Turn off your heart
And let the whiskey take the reins

I had a terrible vision
Of a world outside of this bar
But she keeps talkin' about walkin'
Away from where we are

And it's so easy
To be a man in pain
Turn off your heart
And let the whiskey take the reins

Yeah, it's so easy
To be a man in pain
Turn off your heart
And let the whiskey take the reins

We had a smoke on the water
We laughed for all it was worth
