Waitin' on the Whiskey to Work

I don't smoke but I bought some cigarettes Might as well, I mean what the heck One thing or another's bound to kill me Neon smoke rings and pool balls click Tattooed Ruby in her red lipstick Pours me up another and one more's bound to kill me Well I'm just waitin' on the whiskey to work Got some money in my shirt And I'll stay here all night long if I have to Oh, I'm just waitin' on the band to start To play a little tune for a busted up heart A little something to numb this world of hurt Waitin' on the whiskey to work Feels like home bellied up here It's as good a place as any to disappear Even if she wanted, she could not find me Hours turn to days and days into weeks They know my name, they know what I drink When I drink too much, they sure don't mind me Oh, I'm just waitin' on the whiskey to work Got some money in the pocket of my cowboy shirt And I'll stay here all night long if I have to Oh, I'm just waitin' on the band to start To play a little tune for a busted up heart A little something to numb this world of hurt Waitin' on the whiskey to work Oh, I'm just waitin' on the whiskey to work Got some money in the pocket of my shirt And I'll stay here all night long if I have to Well I'm just waitin' on the band to start To play a little tune for a busted up heart A little something to numb this world of hurt Waitin' on the whiskey to work Waitin' on the whiskey to work
