Lyrics It Won't Bring Her Back - Jimmy Webb

It Won't Bring Her Back

What ya doin sittin here With closin time so near
Looks like you need a friend So I will volunteer
Looks like you re in a world of trouble Only one thing it could be
Ya gotta get a grip on it mister This is not the remedy and
It won t bring her back And it won t stop the pain
And it won t make you feel any better soon
Keep drinkin that old Jack You re gonna end up under a train
You can lay down on the railroad track
But it won t bring your baby back It won t bring her back
You know it s no disgrace To try and save some face
I did that very thing When I was in your place
I m speakin from experience I knew the lady first
It s hard work forgettin baby You can work up quite a thirst but
Drinkin is the worst
It won t bring her back To go out rasin Cain
And you won t find the answer in a cigarette
You can smoke the whole damn pack Create a never ending chain
You can buy yourself a heart attack but it won t bring your baby back
It won t bring her back
It won t bring her back To drive yourself insane
She s already busy with some other fool
Why don t you cut yourself some slack Cause the truth is all in vain
You can carry on like a maniac But it won t bring your baby back
It won t bring your baby back It won t bring your baby back
