He drove off in his pickup truck
To meet his buddies for a few more beers
I said ´baby i´ll come pick you up´
He never called so i waited here
Til all my worst fears came true
And i heard the knock at the door
Telling me he ain´t coming back no more
Blue lights flashed and i fell to the floor

And i lost a good man
To a bad habit
He didn´t love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put a price tag
On everything that haunts me
Than you´d know
What that drink cost me

Use to be i´d pour it out
Every drop down the kitchen sink
So many nights i´d scream and shout
Even tried to hide his keys
Oh i tried everything
To keep him from going down that road
In my heart just let him go
But you can´t stop a hellbent soul

And i lost a good man
To a bad habit
He didn´t love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put a price tag
On everything that haunts me
Then you´d know
What that drink cost me

I cried a tear for every drop
That turned a hero into a coward
And i´d give anything
For just one happy hour

Cause i lost a good man
To a bad habit
He didn´t love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put price tag
On everything that haunts me
Then you´d know
What that drink cost me
Yes you´d know
What that drink cost me

He drove off in his pickup truck
To meet his buddies for a few more beers
