  • This song was uploaded by another RUclipsr a few years ago, but sadly got taken down. I learned in the Comments section this song was one of 10 recorded in March 1984 from the recording sessions for A Hard Act To Follow (EP). This obviously didn't make the final cut, but it has a similar sound to If You Think I'm Crazy Now.
    [EDIT 17 February 2021: I added lyrics to the Description for anyone who's curious. Some lines are hard to decipher, so I used to following link for help. Below is what I think are the lyrics, so comment if you have any corrections.]

    Well, I moved down to Houston to get you off my mind.
    I went out with some friends of mine to have a real good time,
    But one shot of tequila put me right back where I'd been,
    Cause I'm always just one drink away from lovin' you again.
    I'm always just one drink away from lovin' you again.
    I step into a bar room knowin' your memory's comin' in
    Well, I turn up the bottle, you turn up and then
    I'm always just one drink away from lovin' you again.
    Most fools turn to drinkin' tryin' to forget,
    But I just need you more and more the higher that I get.
    So I best turn down the whiskey, vodka, wine, and gin.
    Cause I'm always just one drink away from lovin' you again.
    I'm always just one drink away from lovin' you again.
    I step into a bar room knowin' your memory's comin' in.
    I turn up the bottle, you turn up and then
    I'm always just one drink away from lovin' you again.
    So bring me one more tonic, leave up all that gin,
    Cause I'm always just one drink away from lovin' you again.

    Hey Scott I just found this new song of Keith Whitley's called" don't take candy from strangers" that's on another channel but I was wondering if you could somehow get that song and upload it on your channel. It must have been a demo or he recorded it live because I can't find it anywhere else. I wouldreally love it on this channel and I think other Keith Whitley fans will love it as well. I think the subscribers name is Aaron James or type up Keith Whitley Don't take candy from strangers and you'll find the video as long as they don't take it down. Thank you 👍

    I absolutely love this song but I wish you could have added the lyrics because I don't know what some of the last verse says. Other than that it's actually my favorite Keith Whitley song now.

      Hi Donna. I'm glad you like the song. I added the lyrics to the description since you were unsure what the last verse says. Hopefully, that helps. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!

      Thanks Scott I looked at the lyrics and I actually thought that's what it said ( leave up all that gin) line but now I know it is.

    what a shame he scrapped this song because this song actually may have made the "hard act to follow" album actually do okay commercially.

      It is a shame. Per RCA's procedures, every new artist of theirs at that time could only release a 6-song EP to start off. If one of his other 6 had to go to insert this song, I'd have a hard time choosing since I like all of the final selections.

    Do you have "leave well enough alone" and "wherever you are tonight" demo?

      I don't have the first, but I do have the second.
