I'm pushing you away each time I pull up that ol' barstool Drownin? you in every drop I drink Telling you to go to hell but I'm talking to myself ?Cause you're not around to hear what I think I'm trying to teach my heart to hate you but it ain't workin? right Now the truth is I'm only drinkin? me lonely tonight And Lord, it?s more than just thirsty that I'm feeling inside ?Cause these tears I've been crying have left me bone dry I wish the bartender had a cure I could buy But the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight He said I?d have to choose between your love and this old bar room I just laughed but I guess you knew best Who cares who's right or wrong tonight, my better half is gone And this whiskey?s laying claim to all that's left So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm all right When the truth is I'm only drinkin? me lonely tonight And Lord, it?s more than just thirsty that I'm feeling inside ?Cause these tears I've been crying have left me bone dry I wish the bartender had a cure I could buy But the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm all right When the truth is I'm only drinkin? me lonely tonight
