From the recording Where The Amber Water Flows

Lyrics

VERSE
We had it all; we were feasting on love; every day she took my breath away
But lovin’ her was not enough, so now I’m here paralyzed with fear
How could I have been such a fool to fall in lust with her best friend
I broke her heart when I broke the only rule she ever asked me to believe in

CHORUS
Now I’m drinkin’ remorse on the rocks in a rundown bar
Thinkin’ about lettin’ her get away
Drinkin’ remorse on the rocks, sleepin’ in my car
Self-imposed hell to pay

SOLO/VERSE
There’s nothing to say to ease the way; no excuses, none of that
She was a love you don’t find every day; I’m as dumb as a football bat
Every time I call, I hit a brick wall; she doesn’t want any more of me
As any fool can see, it was just the truth that set me free

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Now while she’s changin’ all the locks
I’m drinkin’ straight remorse on the rocks
Yes, I’m drinkin’ it straight
Oh, I’m drinkin’ remorse on the rocks
