Whiskey Don't Cheat

(One hunnid) We stood there in that empty house And you were long gone I had no doubt When you said, boy, it's me or the alcohol I said the whiskey don't cheat And the beer don't hurt me Cigarettes don't tell made up stories But they damn sure drown my pain when you do I said the whiskey don't cheat And the beer don't hurt me And they don't ever leave They gonna be there in the morning Yeah, they don't ever walk away like you used to Another night where I see your name light up my phone Can't tell if it's the pain you left or if I'm just half stoned Well, tell me why we gotta go around and around When the whiskey only hurts while it's going down You said all I care about's the sex and the alcohol You ain't wrong We stood there in that empty house And you were long gone I had no doubt When you said, boy, it's me or the alcohol I said the whiskey don't cheat And the beer don't hurt me Cigarettes don't tell made up stories But they damn sure drown my pain when you do I said the whiskey don't cheat And the beer don't hurt me And they don't ever leave They gonna be there in the morning Yeah, they don't ever walk away like you used to The only thing you left for me is a broken dream A big house on a hill, couple kids and a family Well, tell your friends go ahead and believe What they wanna believe, yeah I guess what's meant to be is meant to be We stood there in that empty house And you were long gone I had no doubt When you said, boy, it's me or the alcohol I said the whiskey don't cheat And the beer don't hurt me Cigarettes don't tell made up stories But they damn sure drown my pain when you do I said the whiskey don't cheat And the beer don't hurt me And they don't ever leave They gonna be there in the morning Yeah, they don't ever walk away like you used to No, the whiskey don't cheat And the beer don't hurt me Cigarettes don't tell made up stories But they damn sure drown my pain when you do
