Ain't gonna ride that whisky train

Ain't gonna burn up no more flame

Throw away my bottle down the drain

Ain't gonna ride that whisky train

To think that I could be so wrong

To be so sick and still go on

The way I drink it's been too long

Don't see much point in carrying on

I'm gonna lose these drinking blues

I'm gonna find a girl to make me choose

Between lovin' her and drinking booze

I'm gonna lose these drinking blues

Ain't gonna ride that whisky train

I'm tired of burning in the flame

Throw away my bottle down the drain

Ain't gonna ride that whisky train
