Lyrics

The note described his new romance And all his things were goneI took the whiskey from the cupboard I was barely hanging onOne glass led to another I drank that bottle dryBut it didn’t stop me missingThat bastard and his lies Traitor whiskey, turncoat wine I thought they would help meBut they let me down each timeAnd added to my miseryWhen my heart was on the lineTraitor whiskey, turncoat wine I headed to a honkytonk To get him off my mindI tried to lose his memory By drowning it in wineI swear that man was fading With each and every sipBut morning found me wakingWith his name upon my lips Traitor whiskey, turncoat wine I thought they would help meBut they let me down each timeNow I’m toking up for breakfastAnd glad to leave behindTraitor whiskey, turncoat wineTraitor whiskey, turncoat wine So alcohol wasn’t going to do it for meAnd I needed some other way to make it throughListen up cool cats and kittensI’ve got a piece of advice for you If you’re feeling downCause someone’s kicked you to the curbLeave the wine aloneAnd enjoy the blessed herbWith puffs of marijuanaAt the start of every dayYou won’t give a damnAbout the one who walked away Traitor whiskey, turncoat wineI thought they would help meBut they let me down each timeNow I’m toking up for breakfastAnd glad to leave behindTraitor whiskey, turncoat wineTraitor whiskey, turncoat wine
