Cheap Whiskey

He sits all alone in his easy chair
 Starin' back on all his lost yesterdays
 Long before he encountered the bottle
 And the demons that drove her away
 In his hand he is holdin' her photograph
 Her image all tear-stained and worn
 Tonight he's embracin' reality
 And he curses the day he was born
 And the darkness still echoes her warning
 You can't have two loves in your life
 Now the things that will haunt him
 Till the day that he dies
 Is the smell of cheap whiskey
 And the sound of goodbye
 Since the hour she left he's been sober
 And each breath that he draws makes him think
 Of the love of his life lost forever
 When he traded her love for a drink
 And the darkness still echoes her warning
 You can't have two loves in your life
 Now the things that will haunt him
 Till the day that he dies
 Is the smell of cheap whiskey
 And the sound of goodbye
 And the darkness still echoes her warning
 You can't have two loves in your life
 Now the things that will haunt him
 Till the day that he dies
 Is the smell of cheap whiskey
 And the sound of goodbye
