It Won't Bring Her Back - Jimmy Webb

What ya doin sittin here With closin time so near

Looks like you need a friend So I will volunteer

Looks like you re in a world of trouble Only one thing it could be

Ya gotta get a grip on it mister This is not the remedy and

It won t bring her back And it won t stop the pain

And it won t make you feel any better soon

Keep drinkin that old Jack You re gonna end up under a train

You can lay down on the railroad track

But it won t bring your baby back It won t bring her back

You know it s no disgrace To try and save some face

I did that very thing When I was in your place

I m speakin from experience I knew the lady first

It s hard work forgettin baby You can work up quite a thirst but

Drinkin is the worst

It won t bring her back To go out rasin Cain

And you won t find the answer in a cigarette

You can smoke the whole damn pack Create a never ending chain

You can buy yourself a heart attack but it won t bring your baby back

It won t bring her back

It won t bring her back To drive yourself insane

She s already busy with some other fool

Why don t you cut yourself some slack Cause the truth is all in vain

You can carry on like a maniac But it won t bring your baby back

It won t bring your baby back It won t bring your baby back
