Life on the road takes it's toll on all of us...

lyrics

There's a demon inside and it's trapped in my head
Feedin it fuel while I'm raising the dead
Pour another round, it's just liquid death
Burnin like fire and I can't catch my breath
The words that you say take the air right of me
On your face I say the guilt and I know the misery
Blinded by the pain that I'm feeling inside
I can't hear your words cause I know that you lied

And you blame it on the whiskey, you blame it on the Cuervo
Blame on everything else, but baby just please don't go
And blame it on my Cuervo, don't blame it on my whiskey
Cause while you're blamin me, i'll tell you that you'll miss me
If you blame it on my whiskey

A night on the town was all it was to me
I was settin at the bar, just feeling fancy free
Buy you drink, the voice said to me
I said what's your name and she said Whiskey
Blinded by fate and frozen by fear
Down my face slides a silent solitary tear
Try to explain what's really goin on
But the band starts playin a slow dancing song

I blame it on the whiskey, I blame it on the Cuervo
Blame on everything else, but baby just please don't go
And blame it on my Cuervo, don't blame it on my whiskey
Cause while you're blamin me, i'll tell you that you'll miss me
If you blame it on my whiskey

One more round and I'll call it night
But the band's rockin hard and she's holding me so tight
A sleazy motel we leave our sins outside
I must be in heaven cause I feel like I've died
You can't blame it on yourself we both hide it deep inside
We both drink it down and we're drowning everynight
The love that we felt beens gone so many years
I've washed it all away with the whiskey and the tears.
