Sara Evans What That Drink Cost Me lyrics

He drove off in his pickup truck
To meet his buddies for a few more beers
I said, "Baby, I'll come, pick you up"
He never called so I waited here

Till all my worst fears came true
When I heard the knock at the door
Telling me he ain't coming back no more
Blue lights flashed and I fell to the floor

And I lost a good man to a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey, he just had to have it
If you could put a price tag on everything that haunts me
Then you'd know what that drink cost me

Used to be I'd pour it out
Every drop down the kitchen sink
So many nights I'd scream and shout
Even try to hide his keys

Oh, I tried everything
To keep him from going down that road
Then my heart just let him go

'Cause you can't stop a hell bent soul

And I lost a good man to a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey, he just had to have it
If you could put a price tag on everything that haunts me
Then you'd know what that drink cost me

I've cried a tear for every drop
That turned a hero into a coward
And I'd give anything for just one happy hour

'Cause I lost a good man to a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey, he just had to have it
If you could put a price tag on everything that haunts me
Then you'd know what that drink cost me
Yes, you'd know what that drink cost me

He drove off in his pickup truck
To meet his buddies for a few more beers
