Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It won't hurt when I fall down from this barstool

It won't hurt when I stumble in the street

It won't hurt 'cause his whiskey ease his misery

Even whiskey cannot ease you hurtin' me

[Verse 2]

Today I have milled about the sorrow

You know this time I almost won

And if this bottle would just hold down

Till tomorrow

Well, I know that I have sorrow on grind

[Verse 3]

And it won't hurt when I fall down from this barstool

And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street

And it won't hurt 'cause his whiskey ease his misery

Even whiskey cannot ease you hurtin' me

[Verse 4]

Your memory comes back up with each sunrise

I reach up for the bottle and find it's gone

Yellow tongue, where every night whiskey leaves me

To face this cold, cold world on my own

[Verse 5]

But it won't hurt when I fall down from this barstool

It won't hurt when I stumble in the street

It won't hurt 'cause his whiskey ease his misery

Even whiskey cannot ease you hurtin' me

Even whiskey cannot ease you hurtin' me
