Drinkin' Thing

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...
