Clint Black - Big One lyrics

Look around any old crowded bar

You'll see a million reason, a million scars

You can hear what the body language has to say

A good libation in celebration, a dedication in desperation

If you wanna know why I'm here, let me count the ways.

I only need one good reason to keep on drinkin'

So I'll have one more, I'm not done

Well, I'm toast, I'll toast every little thing around

Until the memories are all gone

I can't think of one thing wrong

With drinkin' and thinkin' of the one good reason I have

And it's a big one.

I keep pourin' it in, I don't think it shows

There's a hole in my heart where all the whiskey goes

I try fillin' it up but it just seems to go right through

Drink as I may, no matter what I do

Never seem to need a reason number two

I count it all on one finger

It's always pointin' right at you.

Now let me hear you drinkers.

I only need one good reason to keep on drinkin'

So I have one more, I'm not done

I'll be non stop, bottoms up, callin' for another round

Until the memories are all gone

I can't think of one thing wrong

With drinkin' and thinkin' of the one good reason I have

And it's a big one.

Now there's all kinds of reasons, good and bad

There's about twenty-seven that my brother had

I'd a had 'em all rather than the one I have

I wouldn't be here countin' in the aftermath.

But I need only one good reason to keep on drinkin'

So I have one more, I'm just drinkin'

And thinkin' of one good reason I have

And it's a big one.

It's a big one, I'll tell ya, it's a big one

Oh, brother, it's a big one...
