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
You 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
