Been tryin’ to drown your memory In a bottle of Tennessee But every time that whiskey burns It just sets your ghost free You’re a stain I can’t scrub clean No matter how I try to restart I can drink you off my mind But I can’t wash you from my heart You’re deep in my soul like a blood-red scar Ain’t no preacher, ain’t no bar gonna take you that far Every drop just pulls me apart I can drink you off my mind But I can’t wash you from my heart Your lipstick’s on my old coffee cup Your echo’s in these walls I light a smoke, let the ashes fall And swear I’ve had enough But your love’s like a tattoo, Faded, but never gone I can drink you off my mind But I can’t wash you from my heart You’re deep in my soul like a blood-red scar Ain’t no preacher, ain’t no bar gonna take you that far Every drop just pulls me apart I can drink you off my mind But I can’t wash you from my heart Some sins don’t rinse away They just haunt you day by day And baby, you’re the one I’ll pay for ’Til the good Lord takes me home You’re deep in my soul like a blood-red scar Ain’t no preacher, ain’t no bar gonna take you that far Every drop just pulls me apart I can drink you off my mind But I can’t wash you from my heart Yeah, I can drink you off my mind… But I can’t wash you… from my heart
