Whiskey On Ice

They met in the back of a bar somewhere outside Atlanta
And she gave him a wink when he ordered a whiskey on ice
She said, «Cowboy, I don’t trust you one little bit»
He said, «You should go back to the man that you’re with here tonight»
Here tonight
Here tonight
And she said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
I don’t know how much I’m going to lose in this fight
I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try»
Seven days later she came to his door with the letters
That she wrote late at night as she tried not to cry in her room
She said, «Somewhere inside I know you’re a good man»
He said, «I try to hide it as best as I can»
It’s too soon
Way too soon
And he said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
I don’t know how much it’s going to damage my pride
I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try»
Many years later he met her alone on a sidewalk
She asked «Are you still drinking whiskey, or have you moved on?»
He said, «I'm not the man that I was when we met»
She said, «I'm not the woman I was way back then. We were young, way too young»
And they both said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
I don’t know how much I’m going to lose in this fight
I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try»
Cause they both said, «I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
But I wanna know what it’s like when you kiss me goodnight
I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me to love you
But baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try
Baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try, baby I’ll try»
