Relief Is Just A Swallow Away Lyrics

Relief Is Just A Swallow Away - George Jones (乔治·琼斯)

Written by:E. Noack/T. Doyle

Well I was standin' in the tavern a-feelin' blue

My foot on the rail just a-thinkin' 'bout you

But I won't be blue all day

 

Because relief is just a swallow away

 

Well I've been blue before and I will again

 

I'll drown all my worries or I'll teach 'em how to swim

And I won't be the one to pay

 

Because relief is just a swallow away

 

Yes you thought when you left I wouldn't have any fun

I'll admit I worried but I won't be long

We're apart because you wouldn't swallow your foolish pride

So you hurt me deep inside

 

But you're not the first to hurt me and you won't be the last

Can't tell the future but I've learned from the past

As long as there'd a cabaret

 

I know relief is just a swallow away

 

Well I looked down the bar and what did I see

Your sad-lookin' face a-lookin' back at me

Wishin' you could turn time a few hours back

Get off of that one-way track

 

Well you want me to come over but I'll tell you true

You're as close to me as I am to you

And that may still be too far away

Because relief is just a swallow away

 

 

I said relief just a swallow away
