These words haunted me!

 

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 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...

Can’t give an honest critique on the two poems you posted without the accompanying music. But if you’re composing the lyrics for your new sad-ayas country album I’d vote for calling it: “Tears, Beers & Jeers”. :lmao:

 

Oh Crap. Did I just date myself by calling it an “album.” ???? :confused:
