Johnny Paycheck I Can't Quit Drinking
They can quit makin’ whiskey
They can stop stompin’ grapes
If it wasn’t for fools like me
With hearts that break
They can 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 drinkin’
Lord knows I’ve tried
I’m gonna wear this whiskey glass stare
‘Til my memories go blind
W’ll I can’t quit drinkin’
And it will kill me they say
And if heaven sweet shores have swingin’ doors
I’ll find ‘em someday
You know I thought it all over
And I still don’t understand
With millions of women
How can 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 drinkin’
Lord knows I’ve tried
So I’m gonna wear this whiskey glass stare
‘Til my memories go blind
’Cause I can’t quit drinkin’
And it’ll kill me they say
And if heaven sweet shores have swingin’ doors
I’ll find ‘em someday
Yes if heaven sweet shores have swingin’ doors
I’ll find ‘em someday
