Hey i been drinkinand', i bet you couldnand't tell
the way iand'm stinkinand', as if you couldnand't smell
but what iand'm thinkinand', you just canand't ever tell
and thatand's the way that i want it to stay.
And now iand'm sinkinand', guess once again i fell
my head is shrinkinand', where once it used to swell
your friends are winkinand', but they can all go straight to hell
iand'm tired of them and their condescending grins.
You say iand'll never find the answers to whatand's on my mind
waiting in the bottom of some glass
and i must agree with you, your words, they all ring true
the answerand's in the liquor -- make it last.
Thatand's all iand'm trying to do is make it ...
Last night i saw you ... with some boy from town
and i didnand't want to ... so i drank a few more rounds
and i tried to call you ... but he said you werenand't around
and i know that he lied, but you canand't say i didnand't try.
So i kept boozinand' ... and'til the night wore thin
while you kept smoozinand' with all kinds of men
i guess iand'm losinand' that precious upperhand
but thatand's o.k. i donand't need it much these days.
See, thereand's this friend of mine -- heand's always by my side
he gives me a place to go when things get bleak
heand's always there for me ... he rubs my eyes for me
gives me strength when iand'm feelinand' weak ...
He makes me numb when i feel like a freak.
You say iand'll never find the answers to whatand's on my mind
waiting in the bottom of some glass
and i must agree with you, your words, they all ring true
the answerand's in the liquor -- make it last.
Thatand's all iand'm trying to do is make it last ...
You say heand's good to you, but i do things heand'd never do
thereand's a certain kind of love you canand't dispute
iand'll bum you smokes ... iand'll buy you beer ...
iand'll pick you up off the back porch, dear ...
hold your hair when you have to puke ...
Thatand's what iand'm trying to tell you ...
That iand've been drinkinand', i bet you couldnand't tell
the way iand'm stinkinand', as if you couldnand't smell
but what iand'm thinkinand', you just canand't ever tell
and thatand's the way that i want things to stay.
And now iand'm sinkinand', guess once again i fell
my head is shrinkinand', where once it used to swell
your friends are winkinand', but they can all go straight to hell
There thinkinand' i should just move on, give up the wine and beer
but drinkinand' ainand't the only reason that i loved you, dear
so why should i give up the only thing i like to do?
Thereand's just no gettinand' sober over you ...
No gettinand' sober over you ....
