I don't wanna rock and roll no more

I don't want that whiskey anymore
I dont need that whiskey
I don't mean to disappoint you
But there's chance I'm going to
Some people only like me when I'm stoned
Yeah the crowd was a whole lot bigger
But I just can't remember
I don't need that whiskey anymore
I don't need that whiskey
I don't wanna miss you anymore
I just want you right here in my arms
This ol' life still trying to kill me
Your the only thing that's filled me
I don't wanna miss you anymore
I don't wanna miss you
And I don't mean to disappoint you
But you know I'm goin to
Sometimes, I'd lay it all down and come back home
Yeah, the crowd was a whole lot bigger
When you were right there in the center
I don't wanna miss you anymore
I don't need that whiskey anymore
I don't wanna rock and roll
