Drinkin' Thing
Gary Stewart

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 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.
