I'M PUSHIN' YOU AWAY
EACH TIME I PULL UP
THAT OLD BAR-STOOL
DROWNIN' YOU
IN EVERY DROP I DRINK
TELLIN' YOU
TO GO TO HELL
BUT I'M TALKIN'
TO MYSELF
'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT
AROUND TO HEAR
WHAT I THINK
I'M TRYIN' TO TEACH
MY HEART TO HATE YOU
BUT IT AIN'T
WORKIN' RIGHT
NOW THE TRUTH IS
I'M ONLY
DRINKIN' ME LONELY
TONIGHT
LORD IT'S MORE
THAN JUST THIRSTY
THAT I'M FEELIN' INSIDE
'CAUSE THESE TEARS
I'VE BEEN CRYIN'
HAVE LEFT ME BONE DRY
I WISH THE BARTENDER
HAD A CURE I COULD BUY
BUT THE TRUTH IS
I'M ONLY
DRINKIN' ME LONELY
TONIGHT
YOU SAID I'D HAVE
TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
YOUR LOVE AND THIS
OLD BARROOM
I JUST LAUGHED
BUT I GUESS
YOU KNEW BEST
WHO CARES
WHO'S RIGHT OR WRONG
TONIGHT
MY BETTER HALF IS GONE
AND THIS WHISKEY'S
LAYIN' CLAIM
TO ALL THAT'S LEFT
SO I'LL JUST ORDER UP
ANOTHER
AND PRETEND
I'M ALRIGHT
WHEN THE TRUTH IS
I'M ONLY
DRINKIN' ME LONELY
TONIGHT
AND LORD IT'S MORE
THAN JUST THIRSTY
THAT I'M FEELIN' INSIDE
'CAUSE THESE TEARS
I'VE BEEN CRYIN'
HAVE LEFT ME BONE DRY
I WISH THE BARTENDER
HAD A CURE I COULD BUY
BUT THE TRUTH IS
I'M ONLY
DRINKIN' ME LONELY
TONIGHT
SO I'LL JUST ORDER UP
ANOTHER
AND PRETEND
I'M ALRIGHT
WHEN THE TRUTH IS
I'M ONLY
DRINKIN' ME LONELY
TONIGHT
