LYRICS

My baby left me for the north country
Where the wintry wind does blow…

Why don’t you go ahead and grab your shovel
Finish that beer and grab another…

There’s a hole in my heart ain’t nothin’ here can fill
But I just keep thinkin’ surely the whiskey will…

I came here to be all alone
To drink away my troubles on my own…

Many moons ago before the west was won
And the law was just the youngest man with the fastest gun…

I’m drinkin’ water tonight cos I drank all the whiskey this mornin’
Drank the whiskey this mornin’ cos my baby she ain’t comin home…

This old world ain’t been kind to me
And no matter how I try I can’t seem to change my stars…

Sure wish I could forgive you as quickly
As it seems you can forget me…

One more dance with the Devil
One more shot of whiskey…

It’s hard to wake up in the mornin’ when I just crawled into bed
With bad memories and alcohol swimmin’ in my head…

I went all the places Mama told me not to go
And I did all the things that Mama told me not to do…

I’m drivin’ down this highway and I’m doin’ mighty well
Stayin’ in between the lines as best as I can tell…
