Larry Fleet and Mike Ryan - Quitin' Ain't Workin'

Well she packed her bags
Said she might come back if I ever straightened up
I've been sober as a judge now every night for a month
But when I saw her wrapped up with some ol' boy
In a truck I can't afford
I've been working on quittin'
But the quittin' ain't working no more

This six pack just turned into five
And this five pack won't last long
So pour me up a tall one
Make it real strong son
Play an ol' drinking song
Well I'm tired of trying
So here I am tying one on 'til they lock the door
I've been working on quittin'
But the quittin' ain't working no more

Well I didn't pop a top or touch a single drop
I went to church every week
I cleaned up the house, cleaned up my act
Thinking she'd come back to me
Now I reckon I can go back
To stumbling in and waking up on the floor
I've been working on quittin'
But the quittin' ain't working no more

This six pack just turned into five
And this five pack won't last long
So pour me up a tall one
Make it real strong son
Play an ol' drinking song
Well I'm tired of trying
So here I am tying one on 'til they lock the door
I've been working on quittin'
But the quittin' ain't working no more

(Yeah, pour me up a tall one now son)
(Make it real strong)
(Woo hoo, yee-haw)

I've been working on quittin'
But the quittin' ain't working
So I'm sitting here sipping
Instead of sitting home hurting

This six pack just turned into five
And this five pack won't last long
So pour me up a tall one
Make it real strong son
Play an ol' drinking song
Yeah, I'm tired of trying
So here I am tying one on 'til they lock the door
I've been working on quittin'
But the quittin' ain't working no more

Yeah, I've been working on quittin'
But the quittin' ain't working no more
