Gary Stewart - Drinkin' Thing lyrics

Every day... I tell myself, it's temporary That it's only 'cause she's young That makes her want... another man Eventhough she makes me feel un-necessary 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... (music fades)
