He quit drinking a long time ago
Decided she was what he was running for
He said, "baby there's something
So he smiled at her, and said "here it goes"
And he took a shot, and she shot him down
So he pours another round
Her heart as cold as the whiskey he downed
Another bottle to the wall
Another thought about a late night call
There he goes again, drinkin'
The day he saw her down in Tupelo
And they fell in love over a liquor-less night
And there she goes, girl number two
And there he walks to the bar for some booze
And he figures he ain't got nothin'
So he pours another round
Her heart as cold as the whiskey he downed
Another bottle to the wall
Another thought about a late night call
There he goes again, drinkin'
Hang in there, said the preacher man
Don't give in, take the upper hand
But the devil won him over that night
So he pours another round
Her heart as cold as the whiskey he downed
Another bottle to the wall
Another thought about a late night call
So he pours another round
Her heart as cold as the whiskey he downed
Another bottle to the wall
Another thought about a late night call
There he goes again, drinkin'
