Worth Every Mile
written by: Travis Tritt

performed by Travis Tritt on "T-R-O-U-B-L-E"

(Inro)
1.The roads that we’ve traveled
Ain’t always been easy
Lord knows we’ve both seen our share
Of troubles and trials
It’s hard to believe
We made it so far together
But just between you and me darling
It was worth every mile
C.It was worth every storm
We had to weather
It was worth all the evenings
We cried together
When the going got toughest
I could count on your smile
And looking back now I can say
It was worth every mile
2.I know you and I both had our doubts
That we’d make it
But deep in the back of our minds
We knew all along
That love’s not for quitters
So we kept ours moving
Oh and I think you’ll have to agree
It was worth every mile
repeat chorus
And looking back now I can say
It was worth every mile

The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’ Anymore
As performed by Travis Tritt with Marty Stuart
Written by Marty Stuart

———————————————-

There was a time[(G] I co[Bb)]uld drink my cares away
Drown out all of the heartaches[(G][Ab)]
That hurt me night and day
When the thought of you came crashin’ through
I’d have one more
But now the whiskey ain’t workin’ anymore

Chorus :
I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
That’s reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
A woman warm and willin’, that’s what I’m lookin’ for
‘Cuz the whiskey ain’t workin’ anymore

Solo : C G (GFC) G D G

They knew my name at every bar in town
And they knew all of the reasons
Why I was coming round, round, round
‘Cuz in my mind, peace I’d find
When they’d start to pour
Now the whiskey ain’t workin’ anymore

Repeat chorus

one more try.

Cause It’s an awful price I’m paying with these tear (E7)

drops that I’ve (C)cried.

(B)(Bb)(A)I guess I should have listened; if I had (D)only

been that smart.
Aw,but that’s (A)just wishful (E)thinking on my (A)part.

Verse 2
I found Out it’s the little things that made our house a home.
You’ll be surprised how much I’ve learned every day since you’ve been gone.

Aw, but that’s just wishful thinking on my part.
