Whiskey

Momma cried when you left me
 Know she's always loved you so
 She said "hey fool what the hell did you do?"
 I said "mom I swear to God I just don't know"
 Picture book sittin on the table
 Memories stacked up through the years
 But tonight there ain't no pictures on them pages
 Cuz your kinda girl, never gonna come back home again
 Yeah tonight all the dancehalls are empty
 No young lovers on the floor
 So I'll sit here with my whiskey
 Drink it 'till I just can't drink no more
 And I don't know why you had to leave me,
 And all I really know is that you are gone, long gone
 And everywhere I go I just feel lonely
 You're the only life I've ever known
 I guess you heard the highway calling
 Because you packed up your things and headed for the coast
 I had to fight the urge to follow
 I guess some time away from me
 is all you've ever really needed most
 And tonight you know this whole damn town is empty
 And I don't think I can take it anymore
 So I'll sit here with my whiskey
 And drink it 'till I just can't drink no more
 A Late night phone call from the east coast
 Well she said she'd had enough
 She's comin' on back home
 Well she went out there
 Got a little crazy for awhile
 If she leaves right now
 Maybe she'll make Memphis by the dawn
 And tonight you know this whole damn house is empty
 Tomorrow will be like it was before
 So I'll put away my whiskey
 Guess I just don't need it anymore
 Yeah I'll put away my whiskey
 Guess I just don't need it anymore
 no no no, no no no
