Whiskey On The Wound Lyrics - Pam Tillis

He was strong and of sound mind 

Till the day he crossed the line 

Between an east Kentucky girl and his wife 

In his heart there wasn't room 

So they tore his heart in two 

And he survived by pouring whiskey on the wound 

Another faithless heart 

Locked inside a neon tomb 

Hiding in the dark and 

Pouring whiskey on the wound 

Well, the girl was just the first 

In a string of bad to worse 

Yet the bourbon seems to deaden all that hurts 

But closin' time comes way too soon 

He can't abide a cold bedroom 

So he survives by pouring whiskey on the wound 

Another faithless heart 

Locked inside a neon tomb 

Hiding in the dark and 

Pouring whiskey on the wound 

By tomorrow he'll be gone 

And they'll say he left alone 

But that old bar stool won't be empty long 

'Cause some other hopeless fool 

Trying to escape the truth will sit right down 

And pour some whiskey on the wound 

Now it's another faithless heart 

Locked inside a neon tomb 

Hiding in the dark and 

Pouring whiskey on the wound
