What That Drink Cost Me

He drove off in his pickup truck
To meet his buddies for a few more beers
I said, "Baby, I'll come pick you up"
He never called, so I waited here
Until all my worst fears came true
And I heard the knock at the door
Telling me he ain't coming back no more
Blue lights flashing
I fell to the floor
And I lost a good man to a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put a price tag on everything that haunts me
Then you would know what that drink cost me
Used to be I'd pour it out
Every drop down the kitchen sink
So many nights I would scream and shout
Even tried to hide his keys
I tried everything to keep him from going down that road
Then my heart just let him go
'Cause you can't stop a hellbent soul
And I lost a good man to a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put a price tag on everything that haunts me
Then you would know what that drink cost me
I've cried a tear for every drop
That turned a hero into a coward
I'd give anything for just one happy hour
'Cause I lost a good man to a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put a price tag on everything that haunts me
Then you would know what that drink cost me
Yeah, you'd know what that drink cost me
He drove off in his pickup truck
To meet his buddies for a few more beers
