I know what you're thinking I know I did you wrong But I just got this feeling Baby please hold on The way we used to dance We forgot the steps We both lost our balance Now I drink to forget Whiskey and wine Killing me shot at a time You pour the liquor in the cup and then you swirl it around Cause, you don't remember if you're up or you're down (up or you're down) A temporary fix Or moment's elixir Yeah and I will say I put my hand up in the air and I won't do it again, naw (put my hand) Can't promise it because I don't pretend to know (to know what) What the price I pay Yeah yeah Not a remedy for a thing and I will do it again, naw Whiskey and wine Killing me shot at a time Whiskey and wine Killing me shot at a time

Rye whiskey Rye whiskey Rye whiskey and wine I get all misty every time There's just old rags and pain cans and old turpentine Everyone's leaving, they shut down the mine They cleaned out the storefront and they took the stained glass They pulled out the trani and they syphoned the gas Shiver me timbers, shiver my spine I drink to the sawmills and the western white pine So hitch up the horses 'cause I feel just fine I'll ride them to Carmacks and I'll bring back more wine The chapel, the legion and the freemason hall They left all the keys here it's like I own them all So I'll buy the next round since we're frozen in time Don't bother calling I cut all the lines

I'm not supposed to be thinking 'bout you, lying here in this bed Too much has gone wrong and we should move on That's what we both said There's a million reasons why we said goodbye Why we couldn't try, couldn't fight for it anymore Put your ring in the back of the dresser drawer And we closed that door So why am I 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone And you're standin' in my porch light Backsliding Wearin' your old t-shirt in the mornin', it feels so right Backsliding We say we won't, But then we do the same old thing fallin' right back in Say it's gonna be the last time Backsliding, I'm backsliding Backsliding, I'm backsliding Well, I heard that you've been hangin' around with someone new Yeah, word gets around in such a small town Bet you heard I'm seein' someone too There's a million reasons why we should be happy Not lookin' back, livin' in the past anymore But they ain't addin' up, I guess they ain't enough 'Cause here I am At 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone And you're standin' in my porch light Backsliding Wearin' your old t-shirt in the mornin', it feels so right Backsliding We say we won't, but then We do the same old thing fallin' right back in Say it's gonna be the last time Backsliding, I'm backsliding Backsliding, I'm backsliding And we keep pushing, pulling back, sliding Pushing, pulling, slipping back, sliding I keep asking myself, keep asking myself Why do I need you and nobody else?
