Verse1:
Don't start me on the rDum, Just because it makes me nuBmmb. 
Start me on the whiskeGy I know whiskey is his drinkEm. 
You never drank it witA7h me but now you drink it with himG, 
I'm not good enough for Gwhiskey, not good enough for youD. 
Verse2:
Let's start drinking winDe, we used to all the tiBmme. 
It used to go to our heGads but then you went to his Embed. 
If the wine stains you lA7ips red then tonight you might forgGet, 
You might not go home to Ghim you might stay here with Dme. 
Chorus:
It Gis just wishful thinking that alDl this hard drinking might lure Cyou back 
to my Dramshackle stable, 
ThGere's no point in trying, the debDutante was lying when she sCaid that she

If you reap the seeds that you sow, Oh we both know you are going straight to
