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 hurtin' when I wake up on the floor  And I'll be over it by noon  And that's the difference between the whiskey and you    Come tomorrow I can walk in any store  It ain't a problem yeah they'll always sell me more  But you're forgiveness is something I can't buy  Ain't a thing that I can do  And that's the difference between the whiskey and you    [Chorus]  One's the devil and one keeps driving me insane  At times I wonder if they ain't both the same  One's a liar that helps hide me from my pain  And one's a long hard bitter truth  And that's the difference between the whiskey and you    I've got a problem but it ain't like what you think  I drink 'cause I'm lonesome and I'm lonesome 'cause I drink  If I don't break down and bring it on myself it'll hit right out of the blue  That's the difference between the whiskey and you    [Chorus]    Yeah that's the difference between the whiskey and you
