Sink or Swim

English translation

This night is going in one of two ways

I'm going under, or I'm gon' drink you away

That Tennessee River is rushing through my veins

I'm off the deep end, ain't leaving, no, I ain't

Coming up for air 'til tonight is tomorrow

Baby, this whiskey ain't drowned you yet

I'm diving down to the bottom of a bottle

To see if your memory'll sink or swim

Let's see if that memory'll sink or swim

Take every handle and turn 'em upside down

Till these two boots don't even touch the ground

Pour every bit of that fifth on this heartache

Floor to the ceiling, it's feeling like I ain't

Coming up for air till tonight is tomorrow

Baby, this whiskey ain't drowned you yet

I'm diving down to the bottom of a bottle

To see if your memory'll sink or swim

Let's see if that memory'll sink or swim

Well, well, well

I'm floating in this dive 'til, I can't tell

If you were ever mine 'til, there ain't one ounce

Of you on my mind, babe

No, I ain't

No, I ain't

Coming up for air 'til tonight is tomorrow

Baby, this whiskey ain't drowned you yet

I'm diving down to the bottom of a bottle

To see if your memory'll sink or swim

Let's see if that memory'll sink or swim
