If I was a drinkin' man like I used to be I'd get myself a bottle and you'd be history You made me a thinkin' man when you walked out If I was a drinkin' man, I wouldn't need you now I've learned to live without you, one day at a time Even though you're always on my mind There's a bar around the corner if I wanted to forget But I ain't givin' up on our love yet If I was a drinkin' man like I used to be I'd get myself abottle and you'd be history You made me a thinkin' man when you walked out If I was a drinkin' man, I wouldn't need you now Knowin' me like you do the kind of fool I've been You probably think I'm three sheets to the wind I wish that I could tell you that I'm feelin' no pain Oh you should see how much I've changed If I was a drinkin' man like I used to be I'd get myself a bottle and you'd be history You made me a thinkin' man when you walked out If I was a drinkin' man I wouldn't need you now If I was a drinkin' man I wouldn't need you now
