There’s a bottle on the dresser by your ring

And it’s empty so right now I don’t feel a thing

And I’ll be hurtin’ when I wake up on the floor

But I’ll be over it by noon

And that’s the difference between whiskey and you

Come tomorrow I can walk in any store

It ain’t a problem they’ll always sell me more

But you’re forgiveness is something that’s I can’t buy

Ain’t a thing that I can do

And that’s the difference between whiskey and you

[Chorus]

One’s the devil and one keeps driving me insane

At times I wonder if they ain’t both the same

But one’s a liar that helps her hide me from my pain

One’s a long long bitter truth

And that’s the difference between whiskey and you

I’ve got a problem but it ain’t like what you think

I drink because I’m lonesome and I’m lonesome ‘cause I drink

But if I don’t break down and bring it on myself it’ll hit out of the blue

And that’s the difference between whiskey and you

[Chorus]

One’s the devil and one keeps driving me insane

At times I wonder if they ain’t both the same

But one’s a liar that helps her hide me from my pain

One’s a long long bitter truth

And that’s the difference between whiskey and you

Oh the difference between whiskey and you
