lyrics

Got a weakness for younger girls
With big eyes and red hair.
It don't ever end well,
But I tell myself I don't care.
I let 'em take me by the hand
When there's a bottle of bourbon there.
They all got skin soft enough
To make you wish life could be that fair.

[Chorus]
They'll turn your
Alcohol to sugar,
And your sugar into pain.
They'll set your night on fire
While they're runnin' through your veins.
They'll leave you cryin' outside
Like you're too drunk to feel the rain.
Oh it's plain to see
These whiskey gingers
Gonna be
The end of me.

Ain't they always sweet enough
That you don't feel the burn?
And in the mornin' I'm feelin rough,
Don't guess I'll ever learn.
They're always makin' rounds
And I don't wait my turn.
The way they leave me hurtin',
Guess it's something that I earn.

[Chorus]

It don't seem to matter
How many I've had,
I always want another,
Though I feel them driving me mad.
And darlin' -
I can see you're a mistake I've made before.
It all starts with a smile,
And it ends with me on the floor.
And if I had a lick of sense I'd be
Headed towards that door.
But the cause of my cryin and the cure
Are both to have one more.

You'll turn my... [Chorus]
