All the folks down in Lynchburg, Tennessee
Been working hard for good old boys like me
I don't want to be the one to tell them
That stuff that they've been selling
Ain't working like it should
But I damn sure wish it would
Whiskey's supposed to drown the memory
I've gone from one to one too many
And the thing that really gets me
Is how your memory drowns the whiskey
Maybe it's the bar or the stool I'm on
Maybe it's the band and the sad old song
That keeps me buying rounds That keeps me turning down
Any girl that wants to dance You ain't giving them a chance
Whiskey's supposed to drown the memory
I've gone from one to one too many
And the thing that really gets me
Is how your memory drowns the whiskey
Girl,
I'm living proof That lady proof
Ain't got a shot
at touching you Whiskey's supposed to drown the memory
I've gone from one to one too many And the thing that really gets me
Whiskey's supposed to drown the memory
I've gone from one to one too many
