Drinkin' Thing Songtext
von 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
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 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
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′ve been
Who you've been with
And what you′ve done
