Down the Drain (Live from The Black Boot Sessions) Lyrics

Bought the last bottle of bourbon on the bottom shelf

Drowned myself in Tanqueray, thought it might help

Trying to chase that feeling you found in a hundred proof

That's a high you never felt from me and you

And I could drink 'til the well runs dry

On this side of the Mississippi

But I couldn't get drunk enough

To break you the way you broke me

We were damned if I left

We were damned if I stayed

Ain't nothing I could do to change

My love's the only thing you'd ever pour

Down the drain

We could talk the could've beens

What you should've done

But what's the point anyway

'Cause you wouldn't've

Yeah you had your chances to make it right

Wasn't my war but you made it my fight

Between me and the bottle

I'd lose every time

And I could drink 'til the well runs dry

On this side of the Mississippi

But I couldn't get drunk enough

To break you the way you broke me

We were damned if I left

We were damned if I stayed

Ain't nothing I could do to change

My love's the only thing you'd ever pour

Down the drain

I could drink 'til the well runs dry

On this side of the Mississippi

But I couldn't get drunk enough

To break you the way you broke me

We were damned if I left

We were damned if I stayed

Ain't nothing I could do to change

My love's the only thing you'd ever pour

Down the drain
