Stinking of Whiskey Blues - The Ergs!

I’ve heard it said it takes twice the length

Of an affair for the heart to heal

And if that’s the case then I guess in 20 years

I’ll be sitting on this barstool still

Cause you were the one

I felt that I was lucky just to have you by my side

Now it’s 10 years gone and I’m sitting all alone

Drinking and stuff

Bar time is 6:30

And you’re still on my mind

By 8:15 I already have a couple in me

And I’ve already forgotten you were even mine

By 9:43 I’ll be regretting my decisions

And cursing this city of sin

By 10:15 I’ll be stinking of whiskey

And thinking of you again

I’ve heard it said by many of my friends

You were a girl I should leave alone

They said all you’re gonna do is check

Into your room only to find a Gideon’s Bible

Now all I got are those and 15 «I told you so’s»

So I guess I’m the one to blame

Sitting on a stool feeling like a broken fool

A tarnished drunkard with a tarnished name
