Whiskey Don't Cheat Songtext
von Jay Webb

(1Hunnid)

We stood there in that empty house
And you were long gone, I had no doubt
When you said, "Boy, it′s me or the alcohol"

I said the whiskey don't cheat, and the beer don′t hurt me
Cigarettes don't tell made-up stories
But they damn sure drown my pain when you do
I said the whiskey don't cheat, and the beer don′t hurt me
And they don′t ever leave, they gon' be there in the morning
They don′t ever walk away like you used to

Another night where I see your name light up my phone
Can't tell if it′s the pain you left or if I'm just half stoned
Well, tell me why we gotta go round and round
When the whiskey only hurts while it′s going down
You said all I care about is the sex and the alcohol
You ain't wrong

We stood there in that empty house
And you were long gone, I had no doubt
When you said, "Boy, it's me or the alcohol"


I said the whiskey don′t cheat, and the beer don′t hurt me
Cigarettes don't tell made-up stories
But they damn sure drown my pain when you do
I said the whiskey don′t cheat, and the beer don't hurt me
And they don′t ever leave, they gon' be there in the morning
And they don′t ever walk away like you used to

The only thing you left for me is a broken dream
A big house on the hill, a couple kids and a family
Well, tell your friends
Go ahead and believe what they wanna believe, yeah
I guess what's meant to be is meant to be

We stood there in that empty house
And you were long gone, I had no doubt
When you said, "Boy, it's me or the alcohol"

I said the whiskey don′t cheat, and the beer don′t hurt me
Cigarettes don't tell made-up stories
But they damn sure drown my pain when you do
I said the whiskey don′t cheat, and the beer don't hurt me
And they don′t ever leave, they gon' be there in the morning
Yeah, they don′t ever walk away like you used to

No, the whiskey don't cheat, and the beer don't hurt me
Cigarettes don′t tell made-up stories
But they damn sure drown my pain when you do
