Whiskey Don't Cheat

(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
