Vern Gosdin - Bourbon And Tears Lyrics

Starin’ at a bottle of 80 proof main whiskey
I know what’s gonna happen all too well
As the bottle touches my lips
I watch the last swallow rolled out
And hear the devil laughin’ from the pits of hell

Bourbon and tears
Takin’ control of me again
Washin’ away the years
With an unforgivin’ fit of sin

There’s no answer in this bottle
Girl your memory’s just too clear
So tonight I’ll drink it down
And do my darn’ess not to drown
In my bourbon and tears

Lookin’ for the answer in the bottom of the bottle
But I realize my search is all in vain
As the tears start to roll out
My blood shot eyes can’t see clearly
Eventhough my body’s numb I feel the pain

Of bourbon and tears
Takin’ control of me again
Washin’ away the years
With an unforgivin’ fit of sin

There’s no answer in this bottle
Girl your memory’s just too clear
So tonight I’ll drink it down
And do my damn’ess not to drown
In my bourbon and tears

So tonight I’ll drink it down
And do my damn’ess not to drown
In my bourbon and tears
