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 
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.

During the peak of his popularity in the mid-1970s Time magazine described him as the "king of honkytonk." He is remembered for a series of country chart hits from the mid- to late- 1970s, his biggest hit being "She's Actin' Single (I'm Drinkin' Doubles)," which topped the U.S. country singles charts in 1975. more »
