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
til all my worst fears came true
and 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
than you´d know
what that drink cost me

use to be I´d pour it out
every drop down the kitchen sink
so many nights I´d scream and shout
even tried to hide his keys
oh I tried everything
to keep him from going down that road
in my heart just let him go
but you can´t stop a hellbent 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 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 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
