Black & White

On the counter sits an empty bottle of whiskey

Sure tried to drown myself last night

And a cigarette still burns on the nightstand by my bed

I sure tried to smoke you out of my head

But I guess I'm the one who played the fool

And not the other way around

And I was home holdin' on, you were out tryin' to paint the town

So I keep losin' you in this black and white label

Oh, the man from Tennessee sure does me fine

But when I'm knockin' back number seven it makes me able

To have the strength to get you off my mind

On the counter sits a picture of me and you

But the past sure hits me hard tonight

And the whiskey that I'm drinkin'

Well, it sure don't taste like you

But somehow it makes me feel alright

Well, there's no sense holdin' on

But baby I sure can't let go

And I'm losin' you one drink at a time, yeah

So I keep losin' you in this black and white label

Oh, the man from Tennessee sure does me fine

But when I'm knockin' back number seven it makes me able

To have the strength to get you off my mind

I know there's no place I can go

I know there's nothin' I can do

So baby I'll just keep on drinkin'

To forget about you

I keep losin' you in this black and white label

Oh, the man from Tennessee sure does me fine

When I'm knockin' back number seven it makes me able

To have the strength to get you off my mind

Get you off my mind
