Strong liquor and an empty glass And three weeks that kicked my ass This runnin' ragged sure is hell on me I'm nine miles a minute and I'm head-long in it And she knows she's in up to her knees And she's patient when she's had enough That's how she shows me love And she gives me more than she gets from me Sometimes the whole thing gets me down It takes more than love to turn around I have mercy when I need it That's one thing I'll always need And she knows it And lord shе shows it She gives me еvery reason to believe I have mercy when I need it And that's one thing I always need And she knows it And lord she shows it She gives me every reason to believe And she knows it And lord she shows it She gives me every reason to believe Strong liquor and an empty glass Three weeks that kicked my ass This runnin' ragged sure is hell on me
