WHISKY-SHAPED HOLE IN MY HEART

I got a whisky-shaped hole in my heart.
I got a whisky-shaped hole in my heart.
Because there ain’t no stopping me
Once I get a start,
I got a whisky-shaped hole in my heart.
I used to be a regular man,
But then I started getting so drunk
That I couldn’t even stand.
I got a whisky-shaped hole in my heart.
The Devil told me, “Have just one.”
Then he said, “Have just one more.”
And I kept listening to that Devil
Until I fell, passed out, to the floor.
One day I’ll shut that Devil up
And that day can’t come too soon
‘Cause now I’m on the wagon
And that Devil keeps on naggin’
And I got a whisky-shaped hole in my heart.
