I Can't Quit Drinking

They could quit making whiskey

They could stop stomping grapes

If it wasn't for fools like me

With hearts that break

They could close all the breweries

And they can lock up the bars

If it wasn't for women like you

Who leaves loving scars

And I can't quit drinking

Lord knows I've tried

I'm gonna wear this whiskey glass stare

Till my memories go blind

Now I can't quit drinking

And it will kill me they say

And if Heaven's sweet shores

Have swinging doors

I'll find them someday

You know I thought it all over

And I still don't understand

With millions of women

How could one mean so much to a man

A woman and whiskey

They're so much alike

'Cause just when you need 'em the most

You're left high and dry

And I can't quit drinking

Lord knows I've tried

So, I'm gonna wear this whiskey glass stare

Till my memories go blind

'Cause I can't quit drinking

And it'll kill me they say

And if Heaven's sweet shores

Have swinging doors

I'll find them someday

Yes, if Heaven's sweet shores

Have swinging doors

I'll find them someday
