I Need The Whiskey

I NEED THE WHISKEY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

All of my friends say that I should stop drinking 

But they don't feel the hurt 

I know they mean well, but they should start thinking

And looking out for themselves 

And if anyone knew the pain she put me through 

Is still what I feel today

Then they would understand why I need the whiskey 

Like a child needs a mother to always depend upon 

That was how much I needed her 

And the drinking helps to dissolve a memory 

Or maybe break her curse 

And if anyone knew the pain she put me through 

Is still how I feel today

Then they would understand why I need the whiskey 

I need the whiskey 

I need the whiskey 

Just as much as I needed that girl 

And I'll drink the whiskey

Yes, I'll drink the whiskey 

Until I have reached the end of the world 

And if anyone knew the pain she put me through

Is still what I feel today 

Then they would understand why I need the whiskey

It's killing me slowly but I really don't care

It's better than to feel the pain

And a life that was once filled with laughter and sunshine

Is now filled with sorrow and rain

And if anyone knew the shame that she put me through

Is still who I am today

Then they would understand why I need the whiskey 

And if anyone knew the pain she put me through

Is still what I feel today

Then they would understand why I need the whiskey

I need the whiskey

I need the whiskey

Just as much as I needed that girl

I need the whiskey

I need the whiskey

And I'll drink it to the end of the world
