Allan, Gary - It Ain't The Whiskey Lyrics






I stood there in the middle of the church of the broken people.
Listened to the walking wounded tell their stories.
My turn came I told 'em my name. I said this ain't my first time.
Then a man started talking how the devil and the bottle was ruining my life.
With last night on my breath I stood up and said...

[Chorus:]
It ain't the whiskey.
It ain't the cigarettes.
It ain't the stuff I smoke.
It's all these things I can't forget.
It ain't the hard times.
It ain't the all nights.
It ain't that easy,
It ain't the whiskey that's killin' me.

So what do you got for this empty spot inside of me?
The deep dark hole where love used to be.
Before she ripped it out and ran into the arms of someone else.
Y'all sit in this room and you talk like you got some kind of remedy.
Well I hear what you're telling me,
But I've got all the proof I need.

[Chorus:]
It ain't the whiskey.
It ain't the cigarettes.
It ain't the stuff I smoke.
It's all these things I can't forget.
It ain't the hard times.
It ain't the all nights.
It ain't that easy,
'Cause it ain't the whiskey that's killin' me.

I've done everything to drown this hurt inside,
But I can't wash you off of my mind.

[Chorus:]
It ain't the whiskey.
It ain't the cigarettes.
It ain't the stuff I smoke.
It's all these things I can't forget,
It ain't the hard times.
It ain't the all nights.
It ain't that easy,
'Cause it ain't the whiskey that's killin' me.

It ain't the whiskey that's killin' me.

    It ain’t that easy cause it ain’t the whiskey that’s killing me 🖤🖤💋💯

  31. K.... M....

    I can listen to this man all day and night. One of the most underrated voices for sure. Some of his songs seems likes he knows my life personally.

  32. V.... M....

    Saw him in concert last night in Amarillo Texas and he put on a hell of a show!! His music speaks words to the soul. I loved his music before last night but now I truly have a deeper love for his music.

  33. W.... M....

    I think cma etc doesn't recognize Gary Allan is because he does his music his way! Not controlled by the main stream, so called "country" music they try to pass off these days! So many of his fans love him for remaining country! I know, I certainly do!!! Keep on keeping on, Gary Allan! Love you! 💙
    Looking forward to seeing you in concert in November 2019! So excited to finally see my favorite country artist!

  34. M.... W....

    Today I want to pull the trigger so bad . am I coward or is it curage for staying The pain is eroding my soul.

    M.... W....

    Michael Wheeling keep your head up! I don’t know you but your life is worth it! Please don’t give up!

  35. A.... C....

    I've seen this man sing in 4 concerts at rabbs in Ruston Louisiana and he is truly one of the best I've ever seen and heard

  36. J.... ....

    Im a hip hop head, but damn I love this song. Made the playlist.

  37. D.... S....

    “Gary. No. Not again. No one asked you. GARY. NO. GET YOUR DRUMMER OFF THE PIANO. WE’VE BEEN THROUGH THIS.”

  38. T.... R....

    Bad ass and from the heart!

  39. G.... R....

    Love him

  40. A.... W....

    Thank you Gary. Keep on doing what you do!

  41. A.... A....

    Love him

  42. L.... B....

    I have heard so many of your songs, not even realizing it was you! Why aren't you number one on the billboards monthly? You have the BEST voice! Captivating!!

  43. W.... M....

    Start singing again

    W.... M....

    I mean keep singing

    W.... M....

    For real would love new music from this man.

  44. S.... R....

    This song touches my soul. Lived it every day.

  45. E.... R....

    WOW...... breathtaking song!!!! Love this one ..... 🦊

  46. E.... F....

    Tell em...

  47. a.... ....

    This song is so deep. I'm not a big a fan of country music, but I'm a fan of Gary.

    "So what do you got for this empty spot inside of me...?" 💔

  48. a.... C....

    Love!!!!

  49. s.... ....

    He says he's actually towards rock n roll.

  50. s.... ....

    Wasn't this song about his wife he lost through sickness? SAD. GREAT song.

  51. M.... T....

    There must’ve been 3.6k people that got “butt-hurt” by some chick in the past that opened up old wounds,... so they didn’t like this song. Gary Allen sings the truth, not songs about boozing up some little girl on the bed of a pickup truck on some Florida backroad. Just calling it like I see it.

  52. t.... l....

    Yep... it’s me.

  53. J.... E....

    This song is what it's like to go through addiction and heartbreak.. I see this song when I look at my old man and myself

  54. M.... W....

    One of my favorite songs lol Marilee

  55. M.... W....

    That's the single most annoying commer ever

  56. H.... R....

  61. J.... J....
