Artist/Band: Bill Anderson
Lyrics for Song: Whiskey Can't Sing
Lyrics for Album: Love and Other Sad Stories [MCA] [1978]



(Bill Anderson)



Whiskey can't sing and whiskey can't write

If it could I'd be singin' my song on some big ole stage tonight

I had it all but I lost everything

Here I sit in this honky tonk livin' proof that whiskey can't sing.



I was well on my way to bein' the star that I always knew I'd be

All over the hitparade were songs sung and played by me

And I wrote 'em by the dozens I thought my pen never would run dry

Fancy cars and swimmin' pools pretty girls and I was ridin' high.



But I guess I started bending my elbow more than I should

I sang a duet with Johnnie Walker Red and I said don't that sound good

Then before I could find a word to rhyme with wine

I was out of my mind all the time

My throat got too wet my pen got too dry and my music died on the vine.



Cause whiskey can't sing and whiskey can't write

If it could I'd be singin' my song on some big ole stage tonight

I had it all but I lost everything

Here I sit in this honky tonk livin' proof that whiskey can't sing...
