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 baby back It won't bring your baby back
