I'm pushing you away each time I pull up that old bar stool
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.
Trying to teach my heart to hate you but it aint working right
Now the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight
Lord it's more than just thirsty that I'm feeling inside
Cause these tears I've been cryin' 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 layin' claim to all that's left
So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm alright
When the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight
REPEAT Chorus
So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm alright
When the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight
