lyrics:
Well, if you live in dusty twilight,
Baby, that's okay,
'Cause there are women at the bar
To greet you everyday.
And you can take them back to lie with you
And visit Jamie's room,
But they can never take the pain away
Or brighten all the gloom,
And if your hands are cleansed with sorrow,
May it help you ease your pain,
Though the windows have a view of city rain,
City rain...

Well, if you walk in constant sorrow
And you cry for me,
And if you're hit with painful memories,
Maybe then you'll see,
That if you drown yourself in liquor,
Because it keeps you company,
Then just remember who you're losing,
And be proud to set me free,
Because it don't talk back or disagree,
It just makes you see so hazily,
But in the morning light,
Your life is scattered with the wind,
Scattered with the wind...

Well, they tell you on the telephone to let him go,
I said they tell you he's a sinking ship,
And he's trying to pull you down,
Don' t you know that every time you call me up
And say you want me back,
You know you break my heart,
You want me to come back home and try again,
You want me to make a brand new start,
Well, if wisdom says to let him go,
Then it's hell, because you just don't know,
Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey,
Lovin' whiskey...

My baby left me for the bottle
And the lure of the nightlife,
Good times and crazy women
And another glass of Tangueray,
And if wisdom says to let him go,
Then it's hell, because you just don't know,
Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey,
Lovin' whiskey
