Quittin’ Ain’t Workin’
[Verse 1]
As she packed her bags, said she might come back
If I ever straighten up
Well, I've been sober as a judge now
Every night for a month
But when I saw her wrapped up with some ol' boy
In a truck I can't afford
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
[Chorus]
This six-pack just turned into five
And this five-pack won't last long
So pour me up a tall one, make it really strong, son
Play an old drinkin' song
Well, I'm tired of tryin', so here I am tyin'
One on 'til they lock the door
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
[Verse 2]
Well, I didn't pop a top or touch a single drop
I went to church every week
I clеaned up the house, clеaned up my act
Thinkin' she'd come back to me
Now, I reckon I can go back to stumblin' in
And wakin' up on the floor
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
[Chorus]
This six-pack just turned into five
And this five-pack won't last long
So pour me up a tall one, make it really strong, son
Play an old drinkin' song
Well, I'm tired of tryin', so here I am tyin'
One on 'til they lock the door
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, pour me up a tall one now, son
Make it real strong
Woohoo
[Bridge]
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin'
So I'm sittin' here sippin' instead of sittin' home hurtin'
[Chorus]
This six-pack just turned into five
And this five-pack won't last long
So pour me up a tall one, make it really strong, son
Play an old drinkin' song
Yeah, I'm tired of tryin', so here I am tyin'
One on 'til they lock the door
I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
[Outro]
Yeah, I've been workin' on quittin', but the quittin' ain't workin' no more
