VCS Vol 2026 #35 with Coley Williams

Couple beers, couple cigarettes Tried to drown your memory But it ain't working yet I hope the next round Is a little bit stronger Each night is the same old song Running out of time The money's all gone The band's packing up But I just need a little bit longer are still looking back at all the times you made me look like a fool like a knife to the chest every breath it gets harder jokes on me it ain't too funny never gave me a sign i never saw it coming but i know next time i'll be a little bit smarter One more round He says no way man I'm closing down I can call you right If you need me to Trying to hate you in my mind But there just ain't enough Hours left in the night I guess heading home Looking back at all the times you made me look like a fool Like a knife to the chest, every breath, it gets harder The joke's on me, it ain't too funny Never gave me a sign, I never saw it coming But I know next time, I'll be a little bit smarter I've been breaking down on this old bar stool Looking back at all the times you made me look like a fool Like a knife to the chest, every breath, it gets harder Jokes on me, it ain't too funny, never gave me a sign I never saw it coming, but I know next time I'll be a little bit smarter

Yes, sir.

Coley Williams, 90 Proof.

I understand why that's being played so many times in so many places.

That's such a classic song.

It's just such a great sound.

It's definitely got that tear in your beard kind of song

that country music does so well.

Very relatable and one of those that you just want to keep hearing.

You know, that's okay.

Whenever that plays, all right, I'm listening.

One fun

fact about that song and Only Me to Blame is I like to give credit to my band.

They played on that song, on both of those songs.

That was not studio musicians.

I wanted to give my band a chance to go into the studio.

That's a really cool thing that I like to say at live shows is give those guys credit.

They killed it.

Studio 101 in Greenville, South Carolina.

We traveled up there.

It's about an hour and a half away from us here in Columbia, and they killed it.

So I got to give credit where credit's due to my band on Only Me to Blame and 90 Proof for playing the track on that one.

That's absolutely awesome, and kudos to you for keeping your guys involved.

I

love it.
