What That Drink Cost Me
Sara Evans/Nathan Chapman/Matt Evans (BMI)
He drove off in his pick up truck
To meet his buddies for a few more beers
I said, baby, I’ll come pick you up
He never called so I waited here
Till all my worst fears
Came true when I heard the knock at the door
Telling me he ain’t coming back no more
Blue lights flashed and I fell to the floor
And I lost a good man to a bad habit
He didn’t love the whiskey, he just had to have it
If you could put a price tag on everything that haunts me
Then you’d know what that drink cost me
Used to be I’d pour it out
Every drop down the kitchen sink
So many nights I’d scream and shout
Even try to hide his keys
Oh, I tried everything
To keep him from going down that road
But then my heart just let him go
‘Cause you can’t stop a hell-bent soul
And I lost a good man to a bad habit
He didn’t love the whiskey, he just had to have it
If you could put a price tag on everything that haunts me
Then you’d know what that drink cost me
I’ve cried a tear for every drop that turned a hero into a coward
And I’d give anything for just one happy hour
‘Cause I lost a good man to a bad habit
He didn’t love the whiskey, he just had to have it
If you could put a price tag on everything that haunts me
Then you’d know what that drink cost me
Yes, you’d know what that drink cost me
He drove off in his pick up truck
To meet his buddies for a few more beers
