Women Without Whiskey

[Intro]
Four

[Verse 1]
If I make it through this year, I think I'm gonna put this bottle down
I guess as time goes on, I'll grow to miss it less than I do now
I think I'm gonna tell her that I'm gonna go away for a while
'Til I can get this demon out

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I know the bottle ain't to blame and I ain't tryin' to
'Cause it don't make you do a thing, it just lets you
And when I'm six feet underground, I'll need a drink or two
And I'll sure miss you

[Refrain]
Take me piece by piece
'Til there ain't nothing left worth takin' away from me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Highway's hummin' in my head and it's hard to hear
Won't you read my lips if I pulled you near enough?
Could you read my fortune in the bottom of this coffee cup?
Can you tell me how to tell when I've had enough?

[Refrain]
If morning's a bitch with open arms
Tonight's a girl who's gone too far
Whiskey's harder to keep than a woman and it's half as sweet

[Outro]
But women without whiskey
Women without whiskey
Whiskey's hard to beat
Whiskey's hard to beat
