Whiskey and Gin

Placed third in  COUNTRYMOM-JUST REMEMBER ME 's Country Music Lovers Contest.
Whiskey and Gin

I've tried to return to the life we once knew
I know I did wrong when I walked out on you
I shouldn't have left you to cope all alone
And face what life offered out there on your own.

Chorus
Whiskey and gin Lord
Oh what a sin
I wasted my life
drinking whisky and gin.

You raised up our child while I watched from afar
and viewed life's events through the base of a jar.
But whiskey and gin cannot warm up the soul
They make you sink deep into life's murky hole.

Chorus

I took what you offered then tossed it away
I wish I knew then what I now know today
I'd still be there with you through thick and through thin
Not looking at life through a bottle of gin.

Chorus

I'll never get back to the life that we shared
But darlin' I want you to know that I cared
I did love you truly right back at the start
'Til whiskey and gin took a hold of my heart.

Chorus (Repeat and fade)
