Pam Tillis - Whiskey On The Wound lyrics

He was strong and of sound mind 'Til 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 Hiding in the dark and Pouring whiskey on the wound 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 Hiding in the dark and Pouring whiskey on the wound
