I've Got This Drinking Thing To Keep From Thinking Thing


Recommended Posts

Every day... I tell myself, it's temporary

That it's only 'cause she's young

That makes her want... another man

 

Eventhough she makes me feel un-necessary

I've found a way to help me understand

 

I've got this drinkin' thing

To keep from thinkin' things

About where you've been

Who you've been with

What you've done

 

And it's a lonely thing

But, it's the only thing

To keep a foolish man in love

Hangin' on...

 

If I wait at home, I'll only ask her questions

She'd probably tell the truth, so I don't even ask

So, I sit here on this barstool, feelin' helpless

And I wonder, just how long ... a man can last

 

I've got this drinkin' thing

To keep from thinkin' things

About where you've been

Who you've been with

What you've done

 

And it's a lonely thing

But it's the only thing

To keep a foolish man in love

Hangin' on ...

 

I've got this drinkin' thing

To keep from thinkin' things

About where you've been

Who you've been with

What you've done...

Today, I heard the awful news

Someone told the gospel truth

Said you've been running 'round

With a stranger who just hit town

 

He's got a black mustache

And a red [COLOR=orange]Cadillac[/COLOR]

Now he's got you

And I've got two

[COLOR=orange]Divorce lawyers[/COLOR] on my back

 

[COLOR=orange]Single[/COLOR] again!

Back on the streets again

The old bars ain't changed much

Just a new face or two

When you're out of touch

 

[COLOR=orange]Single[/COLOR] again!

Born to lose, dying to win

Only thing I'm running from

Is the alimony man

Because I'm single again

 

Drifting around from bar to bar

Running into our old friends

They won't know where ya are

 

Last I heard, a little while back

You were cruising town in his [COLOR=orange]Cadillac[/COLOR]

Drinkin' champagne... showing off a [COLOR=orange]diamond ring[/COLOR]

 

I'm getting by

In these hard times

Livin' from drink to drink

 

Single again!

A'back on the streets again

The old bars ain't changed much

Just a new face or two

When you're out of touch

 

Single again!

Born to lose, dying to win!

The only thing I'm a'running from

Is the alimony man

'cause I'm single again!
