Verse 1
All the folks down in [G]Lynchburg, Tennessee
Been working hard for [C]good ol' boys like me
I don't wanna be the one to [Am]tell 'em
That stuff that they've been [D]selling
Ain't working like it [G]should
But I damn sure wish it [D]would
Chorus
Whiskey's supposed to drown the [C]memory
I've gone from one to one too [G]many
And the thing that really g[D]gets me [C]
Is how your memory drowns[G]drowns the whiskey
Verse 2
Maybe it's the [G]bar or the stool I'm on
Maybe it's the [C]band and the sad old song
That keeps me buying ro[Am]rounds
That keeps me turning d[D]down
Any girl that wants to d[G]dance
And you ain't giving them a ch[D]chance
Chorus
Whiskey's supposed to drown the [C]memory
I've gone from one to one too [G]many

Girl I'm [Am]living proof, that 80 proof
Ain't g[D]got a shot, at touching you
Chorus
But whiskey's supposed to drown the [C]memory
I've gone from one to one too [G]many
And the thing that really g[D]gets me
Is whiskey's supposed to drown the [C]memory
I've gone from one to one too [G]many
And the thing that really [D]gets me [C]
Is how your memory drowns[G]drowns the whiskey

Is how your memory drowns[G]drowns the whiskey
