Lovin' whiskey – Rory Block
D Bm Em Em7/A
Well if you live in dusty twilight baby,that's okay
D Bm Em Em7/A G/D A/D
'cause there are women at the bar to greet you ev'ry day
Bm G D
And you can take them back to lie with you and visit Jamie's room
Bm G D
But they can never take the pain away or brighten all the gloom
Bm G D
And if your hands are clenched with sorrow then may it help you ease your pain
Em Em/F# Em7/A Dm D
and though the windows have a view of city rain City rain
Well if you walk in constant sorrow and you cry for me
And if you're hit with painful memories, maybe then you'll see...
That if you drown yourself in liquor because it keeps you company
then just remember who you're losing and be proud to set them free
Because it don't talk back or disagree it just makes you see so hazily
but in the morning light, your life is scattered with the wind. Scattered with the wind
Well they tell you on the telephone to let him go
I say, they tell you he's a sinking ship and he's trying to pull you down. Don't you know?
But ev'ry time you call me up, and say you want me back you know you break my heart
You want me to come back home and try again,you want me to make a brand new start
Well if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because you just don't know

Bm G D
My baby left me for the bottle, and the lure of the nightlife
Good times and crazy women and another glass of Tangerey
And if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because you just don't know
until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey lovin' whiskey
