about

original by Chris Ousley

lyrics

Go on and leave me like you want to
I know your love for me is gone, long gone
I’ve got this bottle by my side, to keep me satisfied
So you and your memory can just move on

Chorus
I’ve got my whiskey, I don’t need you
It keeps me warmer every night than you could ever do
I’ve got my whiskey, I don’t need you
And its sticking with me right here at home

You’re a cold, heartless woman
treatin’ me like a stranger all the time
So this beard on my face has taken your hands’ place
Who needs a woman with a fuzzy face sweater like mine?

Chorus

You go and spend my money
On your nightly barroom spree
Those honky tonkin’ men won’t ever call you back again
while I’ve got a faithful lady at home a-waiting for me

Chorus

Now love may fade away and beards turn grey
And the most faithful dogs still go to the grave
All the things of this world will pass away when we die
But while the sun’s still burning there will be moonshine

Chorus
