Drinkin’ Thing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Every day, I tell myself it's temporary It's only 'cause she's young, makes her want another man Even though she makes me feel unnecessary I've found a way to make me understand [Chorus] I've got this drinkin' thing To keep from thinkin' things Like 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I've got this drinkin' thing To keep from thinkin' things Like 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 [Outro] I've got this drinkin' thing Oh, to keep from thinkin' things 'Bout where you been, who you been with And what you've done
