Whiskey On The Wound

© Blackwood Music, BMI

He was strong and off sound mind till the day he crossed the line
Between an east Kentucky girl and his wife
In his heart there wasn't room so they tore his heart in two
And he survived by pouring whiskey on the wound

Another faithless heart locked inside a neon tomb
Hiding in the dark and pouring whiskey on the wound

Well the girl was just the first in a string of bad to worse
Yet the bourbon seems to deaden all that hurts
But closin' time comes way too soon he can't abide a cold bedroom
So he survives by pouring whiskey on the wound

Another faithless heart locked inside a neon tomb...

By tomorrow he'll be gone and they'll say he left alone
But that old bar stool won't be empty long
Cause some other hopeless fool trying to escape the truth
Will sit right down and pour some whiskey on the wound

Now it's another faithless heart locked inside a neon tomb...
