it won't bring her back

what ya' doin' sittin' here

with closin' time so near

looks like you need a friend

so i will volunteer

looks like you're in a world of trouble

only one thing it could be

ya' gotta get a grip on it mister

this is not the remedy and

it won't bring her back

and it won't stop the pain

and it won't make you feel any better soon

keep drinkin' that old jack

you're gonna end up under a train

you can lay down on the railroad track

but it won't bring your baby back

it won' t bring her back

you know it's no disgrace

to try and save some face

i did that very thing

when i was in your place

i'm speakin' from experience

i knew the lady first

it's hard work forgettin' baby

you can work up quite a thirst but

drinkin' is the worst

it won't bring her back

to go out rasin' cain

and you won't find the answer in a cigarette

you can smoke the whole damn pack

create a never ending chain

you can buy yourself a heart attack

but it won't bring your baby back

it won't bring her back

it won't bring her back

to drive yourself insane

she's already busy with some other fool

why don't you cut yourself some slack

'cause the truth is all in vain

you can carry on like a maniac

but it won't bring your baby back

it won't bring your back

it won't bring your baby back
