Whiskey Can T Sing lyrics

(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...
