There's a bottle
On the dresser by your ring
And it's empty
So right now I don't feel a thing
I'll be hurting
When I wake up on the floor
But I'll be over it by noon
That's the difference between whiskey and you

Come tomorrow
I can walk in a store
It ain't a problem
They'll always sell me more
It's your forgiveness
Well, that's something I can't buy
There ain't a thing that I can do
That's the difference between whiskey and you

One's the devil
One keeps driving me insane
Sometimes I wonder
If they ain't both the same
And one's a liar
That helps to hide me from my pain
And one's the long gone bitter truth
That's the difference between whiskey and you
I've got a problem
But it ain't like what you think
I drink because I'm lonesome
And I'm lonesome 'cause I drink
But if I don't break down
And bring it on myself
It'll hit out of the blue
That's the difference between whiskey and you

One's the devil
One keeps driving me insane
Sometimes I wonder
If they ain't both the same
And one's a liar
That helps to hide me from my pain
And one's the long gone bitter truth
That's the difference between whiskey and you
The difference between whiskey and you
