EVERY DAY
I TELL MYSELF
IT'S TEMPORARY
THAT IT'S ONLY 'CAUSE
SHE'S YOUNG
THAT MAKES HER WANT
ANOTHER MAN
EVEN THOUGH
SHE MAKES ME FEEL
UNNECESSARY
I'VE FOUND THE WAY
TO HELP ME
UNDERSTAND
I'VE GOT THIS
DRINKIN' THING
TO KEEP FROM
THINKIN' THINGS
ABOUT
WHERE YOU BEEN
WHO YOU BEEN WITH
AND 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 UP
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 BEEN
WHO YOU BEEN WITH
AND 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 BEEN
WHO YOU BEEN WITH
AND WHAT YOU'VE DONE
