Relief Is Just A Swallow Away Lyrics - George Jones

Well I was standin' in the tavern a-feelin' blue 

My foot on the rail, just a-thinkin' 'bout you 

But I won't be blue all day 

Because relief - is just a swallow away 

Well I've been blue before and I will again 

I'll drown all my worries or I'll teach 'em how to swim 

And I won't be the one to pay 

Because relief - is just a swallow away 

Yes, you thought when you left I wouldn't have any fun 

I'll admit I worried but I won't be long 

We're apart because you wouldn't swallow your foolish pride 

So you hurt me deep inside

But you're not the first to hurt me and you won't be the last 

Can't tell the future, but I've learned from the past 

As long as there'd a cabaret 

I know relief - is just a swallow away 

Instrumental 

Well, I looked down the bar and what did I see 

Your sad-lookin' face a-lookin' back at me 

Wishin' you could turn time a few hours back 

Get off of that one-way track 

Photos 

Well you want me to come over, but I'll tell you true 

You're as close to me as I am to you 

And that may still be too far away 

Because relief - is just a swallow away 

I said relief - just a swallow away...
