Drinkin` Thing — текст песни (Gary Stewart)

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...
