Is that old bottle calling you
Its contents will only make you blue
Walk on by that old liquor store

Your old friends are on the shelf
Don’t take ‘em down and make a fool of yourself 
Walk on by that old liquor store 

When your alone and so blue
You think that’s the only friend for you
Walk on by that liquor store

It can ruin your marriage 
And changed your life
It can bring you much toile and strife
Walk on by that old old liquor store

It will only break your heart 
and scatter the pieces far apart
Just walk on by that old liquor store 

A weight will be lifted for evermore 
When you walk past that old store

If you do not stray
Happiness is on the way
When You walk by that Liquor Store

Some day you’ll look back and say 
Thank you, LORD, for what you did today

I’ll never be able to repay 
Getting me past that Old Liquor Store
