Pouring Good Whiskey On The Past Lyrics - Chris Cagle

Well I've been sitting here just thinking 

Dealing with my feelings about leaving 

Trying to keep from drinking 

And every day I pray that I make it through one more day 

Without giving in to the only friend who can take the pain away 

Man believe me it would be easy 

Cause I could go there 

It wouldn't get me nowhere 

Just a shot it all it takes to bring her back 

And when the bottle's empty 

It will only leave me 

Holding on to nothing more than memory and a glass 

You see there ain't no future pouring good whiskey on the past 

So what am I doing here 

I know it don't make sense 

Everybody knows a bar and a broken heart 

Are two things that just don't mix 

But I can't go home 

Oh the thought of being there alone 

With a bottle on the shelf 

Saying go and help yourself 

Man I know I'm not that strong 

Man believe me, cause it would be easy 

Well I could go there 

But it wouldn't get me nowhere 

Just a shot is all it takes to bring her back 

And when the bottle's empty 

It will only leave me 

Holding on to nothing more than memory and a glass 

See there ain't no future pouring good whiskey on the past
