Relief Is Just A Swallow Away - George Jones
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
