I've never been the kind to just turn and run
Never lost a battle with a loaded gun
Never been confused about who I am
Or what I think it takes for me to be a man

But lately it's been hell just trying to get by
Livin' like I'm livin' on a borrowed dime
Watchin' my friends as they're all having fun
Whiskey won't you help me make it through this one

'Cause I don't mind
I'll sit here and keep on grinnin', drowned my head and keep on livin'
I don't mind
Guess I'll drink another bottle and drown another sorrow
I don't mind
I can't wait another minute, won't you help me to forget it again

Well tonight's been slower than it's ever been
Staring at the clock at closing time again
The bartender tells me it's time to go
Got a bottle of the venom waiting back at home

Come tomorrow I'll probably buy some more
Black Label Even Williams from the liquor store
Back to the bar until my drinkins done
Whiskey won't you help me make it through this one

'Cause I don't mind
I'll sit here and keep on grinnin', drowned my head and keep on livin'
I don't mind
Guess I'll drink another bottle and drown another sorrow
I don't mind
I can't wait another minute, won't you help me to forget it again

'Cause I don't mind
I'll sit here and keep on grinnin', drowned my head and keep on livin'
I don't mind
Guess I'll drink another bottle and drown another sorrow
I don't mind
I can't wait another minute, won't you help me to forget it again
