While I'd like a glass of whiskey, It will not change my mind. So if it's offered for that reason, Or if you're just being kind. I will go to my own sweet bed tonight, I won`t try to explain. I will go to my own sweet bed tonight, It`s much too hard, to explain. So take some comfort in that whiskey, It`s often been my friend, And if it warms a lonely body, Well who`s to say it`s bad. I will go to my own sweet bed tonight, I won`t try to explain. I will go to my own sweet bed tonight, It`s much too hard, to explain. If kindness takes a little longer It`s worth the extra time, Some have lives so long in darkness, They don`t even recognise the light. Understand, there`s a child in everyone, We should watch what we say. Everyone has their battles and their pain, Hidden somewhere away. I will go to my own sweet bed tonight, I won`t try to explain. I will go to my own sweet bed tonight, It`s much too hard, to explain.
